Adaptive Cards Templating for Python

This library largely implements the JSON-to-JSON Adaptive Cards Template language for Python. It allows you to dynamically expand Adaptive Card templates using data and host-specific information.

Features

• Supports most standard features of the Adaptive Cards Template language.
• Inline data expansion with $data.
• Conditional rendering with $when.
• Expression evaluation using ${} syntax.
• Custom functions like if() and json().
• Supports $root, $host, and $index for advanced templating.

Currently unsupported

• Adaptive expressions prebuilt functions.

Installation

To install the package, use:

pip install adaptive-cards-templating-py

Usage

Here's a quick example of how to use the library:

import json
from adaptive_cards_templating_py import Template

# Define a template
template_json = {
    "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "body": [
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "${message}"
        }
    ]
}

# Create a Template instance
template = Template(template_json)

# Expand the template with data
data = {
    "$root": {
        "message": "Hello, Adaptive Cards!"
    }
}
card = template.expand(data)

# Pretty-print the card
print(json.dumps(card, indent=2))
