30 - Implemented dojo_type tag

[klipstein]

Hi!

I had a need for the tag mentioned in the TODO comment in
templatetags/dojango_base.py, so I implemented it. I have never written a
template tag before, so I just followed the example in the django docs. I
was not sure whether to put the add_module call in the tag function or in
the render method. However I think the tag should be named the same as the
python function (add_module). Than it would be more clear what it does.

Anyway, here is the code:

from dojango.util.dojo_collector import add_module

...

class AddModuleNode(template.Node):
    def **init**(self, module):
        self.module = module
    def render(self, context):
        add_module(self.module)
        return ''

@register.tag
def dojo_type(parser, token):
    '''This template tag informs the collector about new modules
    {% dojo_type "dijit.layout.TabContainer" %}'''
    try:
        (tag_name, module) = token.split_contents()
    except ValueError:
        raise template.TemplateSyntaxError, "%r tag requires a single
string as" % token.contents.split()[0]
    if not (module[0] == module[-1] and module[0] in ('"', "'")):
        raise template.TemplateSyntaxError, "%r tag's argument should be in
quotes" % tag_name
    return AddModuleNode(module[1:-1])
