Include templates in conditional sentences

[lpalomero]

Hello, first of all I want to agree you for your Kiwi template engine, it's very good and satisfies most of all needs that I have. This is a great job!

I want to comment you one issue that I'm having with the template engine. In one development I have to to include one javascript file or render it inline according to a variable... and I think that template system crashes.

This is the example code where I've got this issue:

{{if params.presentation._render_inline}}
    <script type="text/javascript">{{include "_mini_framework"}}</script>
{{else}}
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://xxxxxx/js/mini_framework.js"></script>
{{/if}}

mini_framework.js is a symlink of _mini_framework(.kiwi).

And when I try to execute this code I've got an syntax error at compiler.js file (the trace is SyntaxError: Unexpected token else, at Object.Function (unknown source), at onCompiled (/yyyyyyy/node_modules/kiwi/lib/compiler.js:70:16), )

Is it an issue, the system doesn't have this feature or I'm missing something (it's the most probable)?

Regards,
L.

Hello!

There is, indeed, an issue with include inside block tags (like if). I'm currently in the last steps of fixing this with a new, more powerful, compiler.

Thanks for notifing!

You are wellcome.

I opened this issue because now I'm in a development in which would like to use Kiwi in all its power or use a workaround if simulating. This development will take about a week so would like to know how much time it will cost you to complete the correction using the new version of the compiler. I would try this new compiler.

One think more, when you talk about a new compiler, this new compiler would be a major change or a new "Kiwi2", or it would bee "Kiwi" instead?

Many thanks for everything.

L.

You can expect the update on a testing branch within one week, if everything goes as expected.

This is a good new, but not enough good for me (damned deadlines...). I think that I'll implemenbt the workaround and review your work in two weeks.
