history
Project history and usage
djLint is an HTML template linter and formatter for Django, Jinja, Nunjucks, Twig, Handlebars, Mustache, Go templates, Angular, and related template syntaxes. It fills the gap between generic HTML tooling and framework-aware template code that contains tags ordinary HTML formatters do not understand.
Project history
The official repository was created in July 2021 and describes djLint as a formatter and linter for HTML templates. The README frames the project as a response to template files being left out while many programming languages already had standard formatters and linters.
The project grew around both formatting and linting modes: users can lint, check formatting, reformat, run pre-commit hooks, and configure behavior through `pyproject.toml`, `djlint.toml`, `.djlint.toml`, or `.djlintrc`. The official docs and README also show multilingual documentation and integrations as part of the public surface.
Adoption history
djLint adoption is visible in its packaging spread: the official README documents PyPI, Homebrew, npm experimental installation, and pre-commit hooks. That mix fits web teams that want the same tool in Python environments, JavaScript-heavy repositories, and system package managers.
The official release metadata shows continued activity through the mid-2020s, including the 1.36 series in 2024 and the 1.39 series in 2026. The project also advertises downloads and community links from the README, signaling that it had moved beyond a one-off formatter experiment.
How it is used
Typical use is `djlint . --lint`, `djlint . --check`, or `djlint . --reformat`, often with an explicit template extension such as `html.j2`. Teams put options in project config files and use pre-commit hooks for automatic reformatting and lint checks.
Why package nerds care
djLint matters to package nerds because it packages a messy cross-template problem into one CLI while still fitting Python, npm, Homebrew, and pre-commit ecosystems. It also sits next to smaller tools like DjHTML, making the template-formatting space unusually visible in package-manager catalogs.
