Is there a way to separate my templates inside of client/templates by app?

[mmonj]

Rather than have all of my templates be direct children of client/templates/, I'd like to separate them as indicated below and still have a way to create python templates for these:

client
│   index.tsx
│
└───templates
    ├───anotherApp
    │       AnotherAppIndex.tsx
    │       SomeOtherPage.tsx
    │
    └───app
            AppIndex.tsx
            SomePage.tsx

If there is currently no way to do so, perhaps a good way to implement it would be to be able to declare an app_name="myappname" inside of templates.py in the same way that it can be declared under the app's urls.py

Thanks in advance

So, this is actually how it should be. I like app separation in general too. And if you look here:

reactivated/reactivated/pick.py

Line 230 in db5f01c

for app_config in apps.get_app_configs():

you'll see that models are already exported by apps. Try it: use Pick on a model and import {models} from "@reactivated" will have them properly split up by app/file.

The problem is that there's no real canonical way to find the app name from a file, especially if you don't just use APP_NAME/templates.py. Unless we force templates to be in templates.py, it could get messy.

I'm open to the idea of shifting to this, and would also welcome any PRs.

I suppose using the namespaced app_name wouldnt be ideal since that could be set to an entirely different name than the actual app?

I think maybe we can just use paths relative to the BASE_DIR or something like that. What's your project structure like, so I have more sample data?
