Template engine based on Lo-Dash template, but adds features like the ability to register helpers and more easily set data to be used as context in templates.
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save engine
var Engine = require('engine');
var engine = new Engine();
engine.helper('upper', function(str) {
return str.toUpperCase();
});
engine.render('<%= upper(name) %>', {name: 'Brian'});
//=> 'BRIAN'
Create an instance of Engine
with the given options.
Params
options
{Object}
Example
var Engine = require('engine');
var engine = new Engine();
// or
var engine = require('engine')();
Register a template helper.
Params
prop
{String}fn
{Function}returns
{Object}: Instance ofEngine
for chaining
Example
engine.helper('upper', function(str) {
return str.toUpperCase();
});
engine.render('<%= upper(user) %>', {user: 'doowb'});
//=> 'DOOWB'
Register an object of template helpers.
Params
helpers
{Object|Array}: Object or array of helper objects.returns
{Object}: Instance ofEngine
for chaining
Example
engine.helpers({
upper: function(str) {
return str.toUpperCase();
},
lower: function(str) {
return str.toLowerCase();
}
});
// Or, just require in `template-helpers`
engine.helpers(require('template-helpers')._);
Add data to be passed to templates as context.
Params
key
{String|Object}: Property key, or an objectvalue
{any}: If key is a string, this can be any typeof valuereturns
{Object}: Engine instance, for chaining
Example
engine.data({first: 'Brian'});
engine.render('<%= last %>, <%= first %>', {last: 'Woodward'});
//=> 'Woodward, Brian'
Creates a compiled template function that can interpolate data properties in "interpolate" delimiters, HTML-escape interpolated data properties in "escape" delimiters, and execute JavaScript in "evaluate" delimiters. Data properties may be accessed as free variables in the template. If a setting object is provided it takes precedence over engine.settings
values.
Params
str
{string}: The template string.opts
{Object}: The options object.escape
{RegExp}: The HTML "escape" delimiter.evaluate
{RegExp}: The "evaluate" delimiter.imports
{Object}: An object to import into the template as free variables.interpolate
{RegExp}: The "interpolate" delimiter.sourceURL
{string}: The sourceURL of the template's compiled source.variable
{string}: The data object variable name.returns
{Function}: Returns the compiled template function.
Example
var fn = engine.compile('Hello, <%= user %>!');
//=> [function]
fn({user: 'doowb'});
//=> 'Hello, doowb!'
fn({user: 'halle'});
//=> 'Hello, halle!'
Renders templates with the given data and returns a string.
Params
