Description

I'm writing an application where users can provide there own templates, via uploading them.

What I Did

from templated_docs import fill_template
from templated_docs.http import FileResponse

template_path = "/home/.../template.odt"
context = {... my pretty context ...}
filename = fill_template(template_path, context, "pdf")
pretty_name = "my_pretty_name.pdf"
return FileResponse(filename, pretty_name)

which raises a "TemplateDoesNotExist" exception.

I could use an external app to load the template (django-dbtemplate for instance), but loading the template right from the full path should be simpler.

Thanks !

Hi,

In fact, the need is more a low-level API to load separate the template loading from the rendering, which is for now performed in the same function, aka. fill_template

I'll try to make a PR about that...

Thanks !
