Format your Django Templates easily with djLint

1. Install Djlint locally with this command:

python -m pip install -U djlint

If this code doesn’t work, try with:

python3 -m pip install -U djlint

Remember, you previously should have installed python3 and pip

2. Install the Djlint extension in vscode:

djLint Extension

3. Create a .vscodefolder in the root of your project, and inside this folder a file named settings.json :

4. Add this code in the settings.json file:

{
  "[python]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-python.autopep8"
  },
  "[html][django-html][handlebars][hbs][mustache][jinja][jinja-html][nj][njk][nunjucks][twig]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "monosans.djlint"
  }
}

If you see the code, I’m using autopep8 to format my python code. You can easily install the extesion in vscode. If you use another formatter, you can just delete this line from the settings.json file.
