[Django]-How to make a reusable template in Django?

What you’re looking for, is {% include "template.html"%} from Django docs.

If you need to use {% block %} you can only do that via the {% extend %} approach. Otherwise, you can use {% include 'some.html' %} to include a bit of HTML in multiple places.

The unofficial Django Reusable App Conventions recommends using these block names:

• {% block title %}
• {% block extra_head %}
• {% block body %}
• {% block menu %}
• {% block content %}
• {% block content_title %}
• {% block header %} {% block footer %}
• {% block body_id %} {% block body_class %}
• {% block [section]_menu %} {% block page_menu %}

If everyone stuck to these conventions, it should make this problem easier. Follow the link to see the description of each block.

Example of using {% include %} tag

• All data comes from Django back-end
• Many values are passed to card_template.html using include tag in page1.html

card_template.html

<style>
    .choices_div {
        border-radius: 5rem;
    }

    .card-footer {
        background-color: transparent;
        border: transparent;
    }
</style>


<div class="col mb-5 px-4">
    <div class="card h-100 w-100 jumbotron choices_div {{ bg_color|default:'' }}">

        <div class="card-body p-0">
            <h3 class="card-title text-center">{{ card_title|capfirst }}</h3>
            <ul class="card-text mt-3">
                {% for c in card_body_list %}
                    <li>{{ c }}</li>
                {% endfor %}
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div class="card-footer text-center pt-4">
            {% if get_post_request == 1 %}
                <a class="btn btn-light" href="{{ href }}">{{ button_text }}</a>

            {% else %}
                <form method="post">
                    {% csrf_token %}
                    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-light w-75" name="category"
                            value="{{ button_value }}">{{ button_text }}</button>
                </form>
            {% endif %}
        </div>

    </div>
</div>

page1.html

{% extends 'core/core.html' %}

{% block body %}
    <div class="jumbotron bg-white">
        <div class="container">
            <div class="mb-5 text-center">
                <h1>Choose user category</h1>
                <h5>Once choosen, the user category cannot be changed</h5>
            </div>
            <div class="row row-cols-lg-2 justify-content-around">
                {% for object in object_list %}
                    {% cycle 'bg_peac**k' 'bg_sunset' 'bg_skin' 'bg_brown' as bg_color silent %}
                    {% include 'core/card_template.html' with card_title=object.category card_body_list=object.description get_post_request=2 button_text='Select' bg_color=bg_color button_value=object.id %}
                {% endfor %}
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
{% endblock %}

As other answers have mentioned, the simplest approach is direct inclusion:

{% include 'mytemplate.html' %}

It is possible to modify the context of the rendered template (Or in simpler terms, to pass variables to the template) using

{% include 'mytemplate.html' with poll=poll %}

To use the traditional polls example, the template I would write would be:

<div class="stylish-poll">
{% for choice in poll.choices %} <!-- poll is a template variable -->
    {% include 'choice_template.html' with choice=choice %}
{% endfor %}
</div>

Another potentially useful thing to know is that the only keyword prevents the template variable poll being passed into 'choice_template.html' which it would be by default. If you do not want the choice template to have access to {{ poll }} then the include statement looks like:

{% include 'choice_template.html' with choice=choice only %}

Aïe, my fault – the answer is given in the Django Reference (and not discussed in the aforementioned Django Template Documentation)…

So: Just use {% include sub_template_name %}.

even though the question is asked years ago, any way I will show you the method that worked for me.

base.html
In your base template you need to define all of your blocks that you need to reuse in your other templates,

<html>
<head>
<meta name="description" content="{%block description%}{%endblock%}">
<meta name="keywords" content="{%block keywords%}{%endblock%}">
<title>{%block title%}{%endblock%}</title>
</head>
<body>
<!---other body stuff--->
{%block content%}
{%endblock%}
</body>
</html>

home.html

{%extends 'base.html'%}

<!--you can reuse all blocks here-->
{%block description%}Django reusable blocks, for every bage{%endblock%}
{%block keywords%}django,block, resuable,meta,title,{%endblock%}
{%block title%}django reuseable blocks for title, meta description and meta keywords{%endblock%}

{%block content%}
<div>
<h1> reuse blocks</h1>
</div>
{%endblock%}
