5 min readTo build reusable widgets in Jinja2, you can use macros. Macros are similar to functions in programming and allow you to define a block of code that can be reused in multiple templates. To create a macro, you can use the macro tag and define the code block as needed. You can pass parameters to macros to make them more flexible and reusable.To use a macro in a template, you can call it using the {{ macro_name() }} syntax. You can also pass arguments to the macro if needed.

5 min readTo pass a dictionary from jinja2 (using Python) to JavaScript, you can start by defining the dictionary in your Python code using Jinja2 templating. Next, you can render the dictionary in your HTML using Jinja2 syntax.To access the dictionary in your JavaScript code, you can assign the dictionary as a JavaScript variable by embedding it within a script tag in your HTML file, making sure to use the tojson filter in Jinja2 to properly format the dictionary as JSON.

4 min readTo use CSRF tokens in Jinja2, you first need to generate a CSRF token in your Python code using a library such as Flask-WTF or Django. Once the token is generated, you can pass it to your Jinja2 template by including it in the context data when rendering the template. In the template, you can then use the CSRF token by inserting it into your HTML forms using the csrf_token function provided by the Flask-WTF or Django libraries.
