JSON loading in template

[Christian Gloddy]

I'm trying to use nunjucks to transform one piece of json to another. I'd like a single file to be able to declare it's sources and then distribute the values.

Here's what I imagine (Warning: fake code ahead.):
{% set story = request('http://url-that-returns-json.com') %}
{
  "story": {
    "title": "{{ story.title }}"
  }
}

What's my best route for accomplishing this? Do I need to write a custom extension or is there an easier way?

Thanks,
Christian

Christian,

You won't be able to do that with nunjucks. You'd have to change the
syntax do something like:

{
{% load_json story title:"story title %}
}

Extensions only allow you do define custom tags. I think for what you
want to do, you should just work with JSON files directly and write
some custom node code to expand it out how you want.
