Asynchronous Nunjucks with Filters and Extensions

Image
The Problem Nunjucks was developed synchronous. The architecture behind is synchronous. So if you use nunjucks everything is fine until you hit an asynchronous problem. One easy example is: You want to have a method to download a data as json from a server That is easy to solve, normally. You download the data before creating the nunjucks context and pass the data to nunjucks after download. The problem arises when you don't know the source of the data in front. An example: {% set dataSource = userSelection %} {% set data = loadData('https://mydomain/sources/' + dataSource + '.json') %} The userSelection is e.g. a value from a dropdown on an html page.

ORANGE : The code change of someone else. This is the LOCAL. BLUE : The end result file after the merge. Here a more detailed illustration: Sometimes you will fallback to a two-way merge e.g. in cases where you or the other part deleted a file. Some tools refer them as "ours" or "theirs" ours => LOCAL theirs => REMOTE CONFISUNG NAMES? I personally find the naming confusing because why the h...

🔥vs🥶 🔥 Allegory HOT Image you are watching the news on TV but you've started watching in the middle of the show. You don't know what was reported before and you will not know what happened if you do not watch the show from the beginning. If someone else has started watching the news after you, he will not have all the information you have, only from the point onwards where he started watching. The news broadcast on TV is HOT 🔥.  This means there is one source which emits information and you can subscribe to it. But you will only get the information from the time you've subscribed. 🥶 Allegory COLD Imagine you want to create a bank account.
