This snippet adds simple partial support to your templates. You can pass data to the partial, and use it as you would in a regular template. It is different from Django's {% include %} , because it allows you to pass a custom variable (context), instead of reusing the same context for the included template. This decouples the templates from each other and allows for their greater reuse.

The attached code needs to go into templatetags folder underneath your project. The usage is pretty simple - {% load ... %} the tag library, and use {% partial_template template-name data %} in your template. This will result in template passed as template-name to be loaded from partials folder. The .html extension will be appended to the file name. The file has to be in one of template paths accessible to the loader) and rendered with data as its context. The data is available in the template as an item context variable.
