djade
A Django template formatter.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you maintain Django templates and want fast, opinionated formatting aligned with Django's style guide. The tool is actively maintained, has no external dependencies, and integrates cleanly with pre-commit. Install friction is medium due to compiled wheels, but pre-built binaries are available for all major platforms. MIT license and zero known vulnerabilities make it a low-risk addition.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
- Pre-built wheels available for macOS (x86_64, arm64), Linux (x86_64, aarch64, armv7l), and Windows (amd64, arm64); other platforms may require compilation.
- Medium install friction due to platform-specific wheels (compiled Rust binary), but pre-built wheels are available for common architectures.

What it is and what it does
Djade is a standalone command-line tool that formats Django template files according to Django's official style guide. It's written in Rust and benchmarked to format 377 templates in 20ms, making it fast enough for pre-commit hooks and bulk formatting workflows. It focuses exclusively on Django template syntax (tags, variables, comments, filters) and does not attempt to format HTML or other host languages, since whitespace can be semantically significant in those contexts.
Beyond formatting, Djade can upgrade template syntax to a target Django version, automatically detecting the version from pyproject.toml if available. It integrates with pre-commit, operates as a command-line tool that rewrites files in place, and supports reading from stdin and writing to stdout. It has no runtime dependencies and requires Python 3.10 or later.
Use it for
- Enforce consistent Django template style across a team by installing as a pre-commit hook that runs on every commit
- Bulk-format an existing Django project's templates to comply with the Django style guide in a single pass
- Upgrade template syntax when migrating to a newer Django version, using the --target-version flag
- Integrate template formatting into CI/CD pipelines using the --check flag to verify compliance without modifying files
- Format individual template files on demand from the command line or as part of custom build scripts
