Note

If the command djlint is not found, ensure sure that Python is in your path.

∞ Using Path vs Stdin

djLint works with a path or stdin.

Running with a path -

djlint /path/to/templates --lint

Or a specific file -

djlint /path/to/this.mustache --lint

Or with stdin -

echo "<div></div>" | djlint -

Stdin can also be used to reformat code. The output will be only the formatted code without messages.

echo "<div></div>" | djlint - --reformat

Output -

<div></div>
