Using custom filters with Jinja

The exists_with_value filer returns true if the token provided exists and is not empty.

def exists_with_value(token):
    return token is not None and len(token) > 0

The last line below adds the function to Jinja

def load_template(template_file):
    full_template_path = os.path.join(DATA_PATH, TEMPLATES_PATH, template_file)
    if not os.path.exists(full_template_path):
        print_error(f'Template file not found: {template_file}')
        sys.exit(1)

    template_filename = os.path.basename(full_template_path)
    template_path = os.path.dirname(full_template_path)
    template_loader = jinja2.FileSystemLoader(searchpath=template_path, encoding=ENCODING)
    template_env = jinja2.Environment(loader=template_loader, lstrip_blocks=True, trim_blocks=True)

    template_env.filters['exists_with_value'] = exists_with_value

Use it like this:
