Jinja card doesn't appear on the list of custom cards in HA

[gcoan]

Added HTML Jinja2 xcard successfully to HACS

And it works fine if I manually add the card configuration to a Lovelace dashboard, but the card does not appear in the list of cards when I click on 'Add card' in HA:

HA 2024.1.5

[perlchamp]

it does:
in HACS searching for

HTML Jinja2 Template card

and install it.
Issue can be closed !

No, it doesn't! Please read the enhancement description, the issue is not whether the card appears in HACS, it is whether it appears in the list of cards when editing a dashboard.

I just checked and it still doesn't

[perlchamp]

ah, ok, now i understand the problem. Sorry for wasting your time.
But i think the most custom-cards (i installed) aren't there (p.ex. browser-mod, card-mod, floorplan, ), are they?
So...

Certainly a number of my custom cards do appear in the list of cards that you can add to a dashboard, e.g.

https://github.com/pacemaker82/PredBat-Table-Card

and

https://github.com/Codegnosis/givtcp-battery-card

both if installed will appear in the card list.

It must be something in the way this card is registered in HA that prevents it happening automatically

[perlchamp]

layout-card (and its friends), apexchart and the custom-button-card, too. Maybe some additional json-packages-stuff is missing for registering (for updating automatically and so on). I don't know. At the end they have to become configured via yaml. That's the cause why i don't miss this behavior (being listed under custom-cards)... for me the functionality is more important ...

[ibrewster]

Pardon my ignorance, but how are you supposed to use it if it doesn't appear to be added to a dashboard?

[PiotrMachowski]

@ibrewster you just have to open YAML editor and configure it manually (it is at the bottom of the list)

[gcoan]

Any chance this could be looked at?

I know its only minor, but HA now displays a list of custom cards when you are adding a card to the dashboard

But Jinja card doesn't appear

Yes I know you can scroll to the bottom and select 'manual', but then you need to remember the precise card name to start filling in the YAML.

I suspect there is something missing from the card config that means it doesn't appear in the HA card list?
