Jinja templates

Jinja is a standard templating engine, and we cannot adequately cover its basics here. Refer to Jinja’s Template Designer Guide instead.

In the fmf-jinja context

The jinja files are handled as follows:

1. Files ending with a .j2 extensions are treated as jinja template files with the generated file having the same path and filename except for the final .j2 extension that is stripped.

2. The variables used in the jinja template are determined by the vars variable of the current fmf node.

3. {{ }} syntax in the path files are not expanded. Use the recursive feature instead.

Additional jinja extensions

Currently fmf-jinja does not provide additional filters and functions, but some are being planned.

Extending jinja environment

Currently, there is no mechanism to extend the jinja2.Environment used.
