Templates Forest is just a series of django commands that might help you visualize your templates' inheritance and will give you some detailed information about them so you could clean your template's structure

1. Add templates-forest to your requirements (and install it, via pip or something)
2. Add templates_forest to your INSTALLED_APPS
3. Add APPLICATION_DIR to your settings. This is the path to your app

There are currently three django commands and they all have the same common parameters.

• --quiet Will ignore the warnings and problems found when parsing the templates

• --include-packages If added, it will not only parse the templates on APPLICATION_DIR but also the installed packages (INSTALLED_APPS)

• --vars You can pass some variables that will be used in the template's context, for example when you use dynamic inheritance e.g.: {% extends my_var %} you can call the command using: --vars my_var=foo.html.

  For boolean variables you can pass True or False values, for example --vars my_var=False

  It also works if the variable in the template is an attribute of an object: --vars foo.bar.aze=base.html

Displays a list of trees found. For each tree we display the top template to select which tree to display.

Next to each tree root we have the height of the three (the number of edges on the longest downward path between the root and a leaf)

Displays the information for a single template: His position inside a tree, all the templates included inside this template, and the list of templates that include this template:

Using the template trees it will display a list of templates that we only included once ("useless include") and the orphan templates that were never included and that can't be found on the python files in APPLICATION_DIR
