Hi Nick, I'm not sure what kind of generation are you suggesting. What I've
used a couple of times is creating a template tag to convert a json-like
data structure in the context to a javascript object, so in the template I
have something like this in a <script> tag:
var foo = {% foo|to_json %}; /* foo comes from python context typically a
compelx nexted dict/list */
// code that uses the data in foo
Are you suggesting something like this or something different?
