python compile_to_js.py /path/to/jinja2/template

The above command will yield a JavaScript function which, when executed with a JSON blob containing values that correspond to the values requested by the template as the first argument, will yield a rendered version of the template.

Adding the --attributes flag to the command will return a list of values which the template expects to be provided in the JSON. This list may be more useful if piped through | sort | uniq.

As of the latest version, the following features are unimplemented or not supported:

• Template inheritance (the content of each declared block is returned).
• Imports
• Includes
• Filters and filter blocks
• for loops
• Macros
• Call blocks
• Client-side inline dicts, tuples, and lists.
• Slice steps in client side code.
• Tests

• Content that it output outside of a block is placed in the __default__ block.
