Partial Render

[cemrehancavdar]

Is it possible to partially render JinjaX templates?

Of course, you don;t have to render a full page, you can render any component with catalog.irender("MyComponent", **context) or catalog.render("MyComponent", **context) .

The difference between the two is that catalog.render reset the catalog.collected_css and catalog.collected_js lists that catalog.render_assets() uses, while catalog.irender doesn't. So:

1. if you are rendering some components to insert them into another template, you should use irender, so you can also do something like html_assets = catalog.render_assets(), at the end, to send it to the external template.
2. If you want just to re-render a subcomponent to do a partial response (for instance, when using htmx or turbo), it doesn't matter.
3. If you are rendering a full page, use render so only the assets from the page are rendered.
