CodeBlock.template_data

property CodeBlock.template_data: dict

Dictionary of data to be passed on to jinja templates.

When deriving a new element class, you will often want to redefine this property to add template data. When doing so, remember to retrieve the basic template data with super():

import alfred3 as al

class NewElement(al.Element):

    @property
    def template_data(self):
        d = super().template_data
        d["my_value"] = "this is my value"

        return d    # don't forget to return the dictionary!

The call super().template_data applies the parent classes code to the current object. That way, you only need to define values that differ from the parent class.

Note

Be aware that, by default, the same template data will be passed to element_template and base_template.
