## ChameleonTemplate


Chameleon template engine implementing Robyn's TemplateInterface.


Usage

``` python
ChameleonTemplate(
    directory, auto_reload=False, encoding="utf-8", restricted_namespace=True
)
```


A standalone alternative to the module-level API: it owns its own template loader and does not require global_init(). Use it like Robyn's built-in JinjaTemplate.


## Parameters


`directory: str`  
Path to the template directory.

`auto_reload: bool = ``False`  
Whether to auto-reload templates on change (use True in development).

`encoding: str = ``"utf-8"`  
Output encoding for rendered templates (defaults to utf-8).

`restricted_namespace: bool = ``True`  
If True, only TAL/METAL/i18n namespaces are allowed. Set to False for Alpine.js/htmx-style attributes (<span class="citation" cites="click">@click</span>, :class, etc.).
