Variables in for/block tags fail to render
drmidnight opened this issue · 2 comments
I'd like to nest variables in tags, however doing so causes the page to not render.
Examples
ex1:
{% for type in types %}
{% for file in {{type}} %}
{% include "example.stencil" %}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
ex2 base.stencil:
{% for type in types %}
{% block {{type}} %}{% endblock %}
{% endfor %}
# then in another template
{% extends "base.stencil" %}
{% for type in types %}
{% block {{type}} %}
{% for file in files %}
# lots of html here
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
{% endfor %}
Both ways don't seem to work right. I need the templates for my project to be completely dynamic and "types" can be anything.
Any thoughts on a way to accomplish this?
Using 0.9.0
@drmidnight can you try to explain again what you expect? In the first example, if types
will be [["A", "B"], ["C", "D"]]
you expect second loop to recognise inner array and do iteration over their elements?

This is not possible. In your first example you should use type
without {{
and }}
in for
tag. Your second example will not work as block
tag does not resolve runtime variables. Also it's not supported to define blocks in a loop.
