Details
Key Rules
- Pages:
freedom_ls/<app>/templates/<app>/<page>.html — always extend _base.html
- Cotton components:
freedom_ls/<app>/templates/cotton/<name>.html — use <c-vars> with defaults
- Partials:
freedom_ls/<app>/templates/<app>/partials/<name>.html
- Use
{% partialdef %} with kebab-case names for inline partials
- Don't hardcode URLs — use
{% url 'app:name' %}
- Check existing cotton components before creating new ones
- Views returning partials use
partial_ prefix
- Use Django-style comments
{% comment %}...{% endcomment %} — never Jinja-style {# ... #}
