Django CSS Templating

Enhance your Django development experience with seamless CSS templating support in Visual Studio Code.

Features

  • Automatic detection and highlighting of Django template syntax within CSS files
  • Syntax highlighting for Django template tags and variables
  • Bracket matching and auto-closing for Django template tags
  • Maintains full CSS language support and functionality
  • Smooth integration with existing Django projects

Installation

  1. Open Visual Studio Code
  2. Go to the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X on macOS)
  3. Search for "Django CSS Templating"
  4. Click Install

Alternatively, you can install the extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.

Usage

Once installed, the extension automatically activates for CSS files in your Django projects. You can start using Django template syntax in your CSS files right away.

Example:

body {
    background-color: {% if is_night %}#000000{% else %}#ffffff{% endif %};
    color: {{ text_color }};
    font-family: '{{ primary_font }}', sans-serif;
}

.header {
    border-bottom: 1px solid {{ border_color }};
}

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
.user-menu {
    display: block;
}
{% else %}
.login-button {
    display: block;
}
{% endif %}

The extension will highlight Django template tags and variables while preserving standard CSS syntax highlighting.

No additional configuration is required. The extension works out of the box with your existing Django projects.
