<span id="runtime-toplevel"></span><h1>The Mako Runtime Environment<a class="headerlink" href="#the-mako-runtime-environment" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>This section describes a little bit about the objects and
built-in functions that are available in templates.</p>
<div class="section" id="context">
<span id="id1"></span><h2>Context<a class="headerlink" href="#context" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> is the central object that is created when
a template is first executed, and is responsible for handling
all communication with the outside world.  Within the template
environment, it is available via the <a class="reference internal" href="#reserved-names"><span class="std std-ref">reserved name</span></a>
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">context</span></code>.  The <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> includes two
major components, one of which is the output buffer, which is a
file-like object such as Python’s <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">StringIO</span></code> or similar, and
the other a dictionary of variables that can be freely
referenced within a template; this dictionary is a combination
of the arguments sent to the <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template.render" title="mako.template.Template.render"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">render()</span></code></a> function and
some built-in variables provided by Mako’s runtime environment.</p>
<div class="section" id="the-buffer">
<h3>The Buffer<a class="headerlink" href="#the-buffer" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>The buffer is stored within the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a>, and writing
to it is achieved by calling the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context.write" title="mako.runtime.Context.write"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">write()</span></code></a> method
– in a template this looks like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">context.write('some</span> <span class="pre">string')</span></code>.
You usually don’t need to care about this, as all text within a template, as
well as all expressions provided by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">${}</span></code>, automatically send
everything to this method. The cases you might want to be aware
of its existence are if you are dealing with various
filtering/buffering scenarios, which are described in
<a class="reference internal" href="filtering.html"><span class="std std-ref">Filtering and Buffering</span></a>, or if you want to programmatically
send content to the output stream, such as within a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;%</span> <span class="pre">%&gt;</span></code>
block.</p>
<div class="highlight-mako notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp">&lt;%</span>
    <span class="n">context</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">write</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;some programmatic text&quot;</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="cp">%&gt;</span><span class="x"></span></pre></div>
</div>
<p>The actual buffer may or may not be the original buffer sent to
the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> object, as various filtering/caching
scenarios may “push” a new buffer onto the context’s underlying
buffer stack. For this reason, just stick with
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">context.write()</span></code> and content will always go to the topmost
buffer.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="context-variables">
<span id="context-vars"></span><h3>Context Variables<a class="headerlink" href="#context-variables" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>When your template is compiled into a Python module, the body
content is enclosed within a Python function called
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">render_body</span></code>. Other top-level defs defined in the template are
defined within their own function bodies which are named after
the def’s name with the prefix <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">render_</span></code> (i.e. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">render_mydef</span></code>).
One of the first things that happens within these functions is
that all variable names that are referenced within the function
which are not defined in some other way (i.e. such as via
assignment, module level imports, etc.) are pulled from the
<a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> object’s dictionary of variables. This is how you’re
able to freely reference variable names in a template which
automatically correspond to what was passed into the current
<a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a>.</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>What happens if I reference a variable name that is not in
the current context?</strong> - The value you get back is a special
value called <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">UNDEFINED</span></code>, or if the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">strict_undefined=True</span></code> flag
is used a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NameError</span></code> is raised. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">UNDEFINED</span></code> is just a simple global
variable with the class <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Undefined" title="mako.runtime.Undefined"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">mako.runtime.Undefined</span></code></a>. The
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">UNDEFINED</span></code> object throws an error when you call <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">str()</span></code> on
it, which is what happens if you try to use it in an
expression.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>UNDEFINED makes it hard for me to find what name is missing</strong> - An alternative
is to specify the option <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">strict_undefined=True</span></code>
to the <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template" title="mako.template.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template</span></code></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.lookup.TemplateLookup" title="mako.lookup.TemplateLookup"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TemplateLookup</span></code></a>.  This will cause
any non-present variables to raise an immediate <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NameError</span></code>
which includes the name of the variable in its message
when <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template.render" title="mako.template.Template.render"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">render()</span></code></a> is called – <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">UNDEFINED</span></code> is not used.</p>
<div class="versionadded">
<p><span class="versionmodified added">New in version 0.3.6.</span></p>
</div>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Why not just return None?</strong> Using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">UNDEFINED</span></code>, or
raising a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">NameError</span></code> is more
explicit and allows differentiation between a value of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code>
that was explicitly passed to the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> and a value that
wasn’t present at all.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Why raise an exception when you call str() on it ? Why not
just return a blank string?</strong> - Mako tries to stick to the
Python philosophy of “explicit is better than implicit”. In
this case, it’s decided that the template author should be made
to specifically handle a missing value rather than
experiencing what may be a silent failure. Since <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">UNDEFINED</span></code>
is a singleton object just like Python’s <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">False</span></code>,
you can use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">is</span></code> operator to check for it:</p>
<div class="highlight-mako notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp">%</span> <span class="k">if</span> <span class="n">someval</span> <span class="ow">is</span> <span class="n">UNDEFINED</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="x"></span>
<span class="x">    someval is: no value</span>
<span class="cp">%</span> <span class="k">else</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="x"></span>
<span class="x">    someval is: </span><span class="cp">${</span><span class="n">someval</span><span class="cp">}</span>
<span class="cp">%</span><span class="k"> endif</span><span class="x"></span></pre></div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Another facet of the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> is that its dictionary of
variables is <strong>immutable</strong>. Whatever is set when
<a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template.render" title="mako.template.Template.render"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">render()</span></code></a> is called is what stays. Of course, since
its Python, you can hack around this and change values in the
context’s internal dictionary, but this will probably will not
work as well as you’d think. The reason for this is that Mako in
many cases creates copies of the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> object, which
get sent to various elements of the template and inheriting
templates used in an execution. So changing the value in your
local <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> will not necessarily make that value
available in other parts of the template’s execution. Examples
of where Mako creates copies of the <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> include
within top-level def calls from the main body of the template
(the context is used to propagate locally assigned variables
into the scope of defs; since in the template’s body they appear
as inlined functions, Mako tries to make them act that way), and
within an inheritance chain (each template in an inheritance
chain has a different notion of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">parent</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">next</span></code>, which
are all stored in unique <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> instances).</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>So what if I want to set values that are global to everyone
within a template request?</strong> - All you have to do is provide a
dictionary to your <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> when the template first
runs, and everyone can just get/set variables from that. Lets
say its called <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">attributes</span></code>.</p>
<p>Running the template looks like:</p>
<div class="highlight-python notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">output</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">template</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">render</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">attributes</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="p">{})</span></pre></div>
</div>
<p>Within a template, just reference the dictionary:</p>
<div class="highlight-mako notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp">&lt;%</span>
    <span class="n">attributes</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;foo&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s1">&#39;bar&#39;</span>
<span class="cp">%&gt;</span><span class="x"></span>
<span class="x">&#39;foo&#39; attribute is: </span><span class="cp">${</span><span class="n">attributes</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;foo&#39;</span><span class="p">]</span><span class="cp">}</span><span class="x"></span></pre></div>
</div>
</li>
<li><p><strong>Why can’t “attributes” be a built-in feature of the
Context?</strong> - This is an area where Mako is trying to make as
few decisions about your application as it possibly can.
Perhaps you don’t want your templates to use this technique of
assigning and sharing data, or perhaps you have a different
notion of the names and kinds of data structures that should
be passed around. Once again Mako would rather ask the user to
be explicit.</p></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="context-methods-and-accessors">
<h3>Context Methods and Accessors<a class="headerlink" href="#context-methods-and-accessors" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>Significant members of <a class="reference internal" href="#mako.runtime.Context" title="mako.runtime.Context"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context</span></code></a> include:</p>

dictionary-like accessors for the context. Normally, any
variable you use in your template is automatically pulled from
the context if it isn’t defined somewhere already. Use the
dictionary accessor and/or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">get</span></code> method when you want a
variable that <em>is</em> already defined somewhere else, such as in
the local arguments sent to a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">%def</span></code> call. If a key is not
present, like a dictionary it raises <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">KeyError</span></code>.</p></li>

<p>Loop contexts can also be transparently nested, and the Mako runtime will do
the right thing and manage the scope for you.  You can access the parent loop
context through <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop.parent</span></code>.</p>
<p>This allows you to reach all the way back up through the loop stack by
chaining <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">parent</span></code> attribute accesses, i.e. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop.parent.parent....</span></code> as

<div class="versionchanged">
<p><span class="versionmodified changed">Changed in version 0.7: </span>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop</span></code> name is now <a class="reference internal" href="#reserved-names"><span class="std std-ref">reserved</span></a> in Mako,
which means a template that refers to a variable named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop</span></code>
won’t function correctly when used in Mako 0.7.</p>
</div>
<p>To ease the transition for such systems, the feature can be disabled across the board for
all templates, then re-enabled on a per-template basis for those templates which wish
to make use of the new system.</p>
<p>First, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">enable_loop=False</span></code> flag is passed to either the <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.lookup.TemplateLookup" title="mako.lookup.TemplateLookup"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TemplateLookup</span></code></a>
or <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template" title="mako.template.Template"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template</span></code></a> object in use:</p>

</div>
<p>An individual template can make usage of the feature when <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">enable_loop</span></code> is set to
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">False</span></code> by switching it back on within the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;%page&gt;</span></code> tag:</p>
<div class="highlight-mako notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="cp">&lt;%</span><span class="nb">page</span> <span class="na">enable_loop=</span><span class="s">&quot;True&quot;</span><span class="cp">/&gt;</span>

<span class="cp">%</span><span class="k"> endfor</span><span class="x"></span></pre></div>
</div>
<p>Using the above scheme, it’s safe to pass the name <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop</span></code> to the <a class="reference internal" href="usage.html#mako.template.Template.render" title="mako.template.Template.render"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Template.render()</span></code></a>
method as well as to freely make usage of a variable named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop</span></code> within a template, provided
the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;%page&gt;</span></code> tag doesn’t override it.  New templates that want to use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loop</span></code> context
can then set up <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&lt;%page</span> <span class="pre">enable_loop=&quot;True&quot;/&gt;</span></code> to use the new feature without affecting

except the template is being called in an inheritance context,
using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">body()</span></code> method.   <code class="xref py py-attr docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Context.kwargs</span></code> can then be
used to propagate these arguments to the inheriting template:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>${next.body(**context.kwargs)}</pre></div>
