I have an object that shows up in lots of different parts of the system,
say a Book.
I want to display a list view of Book objects in many different places,
e.g.,
When looking at an Author's detail page, I want to see a list of recent
books they've written
when looking at a publisher page, similar.
In fact, even when looking at a book i'd like to have a list of books that
reference it.
So, there's going to be html code that shows a table of books on several
different pages.
My question is, what's the right way to follow DRY w/ django templates and
not duplicate the code that makes a list of books?
If I was using Jinja, it'd be pretty straightforward to {% include %} a
snippet in each page that renders each queryset as a fancy table. It
doesn't look like template inheritance is set up that way here, though.
So what's the right way to do it with Django? Am I thinking about it
wrong? I see a few django-fancy-tables plugins, but they seem pretty
heavyweight, and i'd like to understand the right way to approach the
solution here. In fact, I don't even know the right words to use to
describe the problem, so my google-fu is weak. Do I write a custom
template tag that takes a queryset as a parameter? Aren't custom template
tags to be avoided?
Thanks much for your time,
Andrew
