I'm hoping this is possible. I work in a variety of environments and languages. Right now it's mostly django and Node.js, but there have been others. What I would like to do is set the web-mode
engine based on the project I am currently working on, and not the file extension. I know I could use .djhtml
as the file extension, but that messes things up for others who aren't using Emacs because, for example, Pycharm doesn't know what to do with a .djhtml
file. I would prefer to keep my .html
if at all possible.
I am wondering if there is any way to set the web-mode
engine based on the project I'm working in. I'd rather not have to put -*- engine: django -*-
into each of my files either, if I can avoid it.
UPDATEUPDATE:
I've tried adding the following to a .dir-locals.el
file, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I get prompted to allow the variable change, and the value of the variable web-mode-engines-alist
has changed to (("django" . "\\.html\\'"))
, but django
is not set as the template engine when I open a .html
file.
((web-mode .
((web-mode-engines-alist .
(("django" . "\\.html\\'"))))))
UPDATE 2
To clarify, I can set all .html
files to open with the django engine by putting the following in my .spacemacs
file:
(setq web-mode-engines-alist
'(("django" . "\\.html\\'")))
That works just fine, but sets it globally, meaning I'll get the django engine in any .html
file, regardless if it's a django project or another language.
