nunjucks VS Directus

In ApostropheCMS, templates are where code and content become web pages. Specifically, templates are written in normal HTML markup with special tags and are based on the Nunjucks template language. Thus, they are .html files placed in the /views subfolder of an ApostropheCMS module.

This starter Kit has been created by Corllete in partnership with Apostrophe. From a technical point of view, the ecommerce project is based on several UI components. Each of them relies entirely on Tailwind CSS for styling, with no additional CSS files. These components are organized in macros and fragments coming from the default server-side template engine Nunjucks.

So there's Nunjucks, a frontend templating language inspired by jinja2, which itself is based on the Django template language. You could try that, and mock in data from JSON when required until you're ready to use real Django.

The linked one is my Rails implementation, written for ViewComponent. The official version uses Nunjucks.

The template engine is Nunjucks.

Take a look on Nunjucks a templating language by Mozilla . You can use Gulp to start with it, check gulp-nunjucks-render.

Try out Nunjucks https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/ . It does exactly what you want.

I don't know, it's something I've wanted many times.

Recently I discovered https://directus.io/ which comes pretty close and it's open source.

I using Directus CMS on several projects with pretty complicated flows, api extensions etc. probably there will be some work if you move. I liked Directus is because it's standard SQL I can always move my DB and documents to another solution. I don't use their hosted solution but they have an unlimited offering for $100 / month.

Have you looked at Directus? I’m not sure exactly what your needs are (sorry if I’ve misunderstood). I used it for my most recent project as the backend for data entry/queries/administration. It supports MySQL, but admins don’t need to know anything about SQL to do complex queries/filters/CSV exports from the Directus UI.
