Looking into a templating engine for #Rust. Preferably #jinja2 like. https://github.com/Keats/tera is an option, but does anyone have any suggestions? #rustlang

@agnew_hawk @daubers I would recommend Askama if you want to return templates from a server because the templates are compiled and checked at compile time.

If you want to use templating to build something once before serving it (like with a static site generators), then I would recommend Tera. The static site generator Zola uses it. It is more flexible and you will see errors on building the site anyway.

@daubers https://github.com/mitsuhiko/minijinja maybe?

@tranzystorek_io @daubers This is the answer. It’s from the author of Jinja.

@daubers I've used askama on a few projects and it's pretty good

@daubers
If I might self-suggest ... https://lib.rs/crates/ructe might be worth a look.

To be honest, it doesn't really look like jinja, the major design difference is that ructe converts your templates to code at compile-time. That makes it efficient and it avoids runtime template errors (but makes it impossible to change tempates at runtime).
