Best Practices
✅ DO
Use template inheritance for DRY code
Implement caching for frequently rendered pages
Use template filters for formatting
Separate concerns between views and templates
Validate and sanitize all user input
Use context processors for global variables
Implement proper pagination
Use conditional rendering appropriately
Cache expensive queries
Optimize template rendering
❌ DON'T
Put business logic in templates
Use unbounded loops in templates
Execute database queries in templates
Trust user input without sanitization
Over nest template inheritance
Use very long template files
Render sensitive data in templates
Ignore template caching opportunities
Use global variables excessively
Mix multiple concerns in one template
