Skip serverside rendering in tornado

Question

The syntax of tornado template engine is {{varName}} which incidentally matched with the Angular's data binding syntax.

Is there any decent way to skip server-side rendering of tornado template engine? Changing in HTML file with a new syntax will mess the project a lot.

Answer 1

The easiest possible way would be to not use self.render. Instead, open the file and use self.write to serve it:

class MyRequestHandler(...):
    def get(self):
        with open('path/to/template.html') as f:
            self.write(f.read())
