Raku implementation of Mustache templates, http://mustache.github.io/.

Synopsis

use Template::Mustache;

# Call .render as a class method
Template::Mustache.render('Hello, {{planet}}!', { planet => 'world' }).say;

# Or instantiate an instance
my $stache = Template::Mustache.new: :from<./views>;

# Subroutines are called
say $stache.render('The time is {{time}}', {
    time => { ~DateTime.new(now).local }
});

my @people =
    { :name('James T. Kirk'), :title<Captain> },
    { :name('Wesley'), :title('Dread Pirate'), :emcee },
    { :name('Dana Scully'), :title('Special Agent') },
    ;

# See this template in ./t/views/roster.mustache
$stache.render('roster', { :@people }).say;

my %context =
    event => 'Masters of the Universe Convention',
    :@people,
    ;
my %partials =
    welcome =>
        qq:b{Welcome to the {{event}}! We’re pleased to have you here.\n\n},
    ;

# See this result in ./t/50-readme.t
Template::Mustache.render(q:to/EOF/,
        {{> welcome}}
        {{> roster}}

            Dinner at 7PM in the Grand Ballroom. Bring a chair!
        EOF
    %context,
    :from([%partials, './views'])
).say;

Description

Logging

Log levels

Messages are logged with varying severity levels (from most to least severe): Fatal, Error, Warn, Info, Verbose, Audit, Debug, Trace, Trace2

By default, only messages of Error or worse are logged. That default can be changed with the TEMPLATE_MUSTACHE_LOGLEVEL environment variable.

TEMPLATE_MUSTACHE_LOGLEVEL=Debug

The default is overridden with the :log-level option to Template::Mustache.new, or a Template::Mustache::Logger object can be passed via the :logger option.

my $stache = Template::Mustache.new: :log-level<Trace>;

my $logger = Template::Mustache::Logger.new: :level<Debug>;
my $stache = Template::Mustache.new: :$logger;

Either method can be used with the .render method, as well.

my %data = hello => 'world';

Template::Mustache.render: 'Hello, {{hello}}!', %data, :log-level<Trace>;

my $logger = Template::Mustache::Logger.new: :level<Debug>;
Template::Mustache.render: 'Hello, {{hello}}!', %data, :$logger;

Log routine

By default, any messages at level Warn or worse are logged with the warn routine. A CONTROL block can handle such warnings if needed; see Language/phasers for details. Less severe messages (Info and up) are logged with the note routine.

The routine can be set per log level, in the Template::Mustache::Logger.routines hash.

# Use say instead of note for Info and up; the more severe
# levels (C<Warn> down to C<Fatal>) still use the warn routine
my $stache = Template::Mustache.new: :log-routine(&say);

# But even those can be set explicitly
$stache.logger.routines{$_} = &die for <Warn Error Fatal>;

$stache.render: '{{missing}}', {};  # dies

method log

• multi method log(Exception $exception, LogLevel :$level)

• multi method log(LogLevel :$level, *@msgs)

Emit a message at $level (Info by default).

Extra features

Template inheritence

Support for hogan.js-style template inheritence is available.

Pragma: KEEP-UNUSED-VARIABLES

Specify :pragma<KEEP-UNUSED-VARIABLES> to either Template::Mustache.new or .render, and any variables which are not defined in the data context will be kept in the rendered text. See t/13-pragmas.t for examples.

More Examples and Tests

The Mustache spec provides a wealth of examples to demonstrate exactly how the format behaves.

https://github.com/mustache/spec/tree/master/specs/

All of the official Mustache spec tests pass. A copy of the tests is distributed in t/specs.

To check against the official specs repository, clone it into ../mustache-spec:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/mustache/spec.git ../mustache-spec
prove -v -e 'raku -Ilib' t/

Extra Specifications

The test file t/specs/inheritable_partials.json is taken from groue/GRMustache.

Other Mustache Implementations

There are many, many Mustache implementations in various languages. Some of note are:

• The original Ruby version https://github.com/defunkt/mustache

• Twitter's hogan.js https://github.com/twitter/hogan.js

• mustache.java https://github.com/spullara/mustache.java

• GRMustache (Objective C) https://github.com/groue/GRMustache

• mustache.php https://github.com/bobthecow/mustache.php

TODO

• full object support (with method calls; currently the object is just stringified)

• global helpers (context items that float at the top of the stack)

• database loader

• pragmas (FILTERS?)
