Readme
@wq/template
@wq/template is a low-level wq.app module providing a simple API wrapper around Mustache.js, adding a way to cache template definitions and insert rendered templates into the DOM. @wq/template is internally used by @wq/router to render pages for @wq/app, and does not usually need to be imported directly. That said, it can be a useful utility for easily rendering arbitrary templated strings.
Installation
wq.app for PyPI
python3 -m venv venv # create virtual env (if needed)
. venv/bin/activate # activate virtual env
python3 -m pip install wq # install wq framework (wq.app, wq.db, etc.)
# pip install wq.app # install wq.app only
@wq/app for npm
npm install @wq/app # install all @wq/app deps including @wq/template
# npm install @wq/template # install only @wq/template and deps
API
@wq/template is typically imported as tmpl
, though any local variable name can be used. tmpl
provides an init()
function which accepts a configuration object that defines a set of templates and template partials. tmpl.setDefault(name, value)
can be used after initialization to assign default context variables, though this usage is deprecated in favor of @wq/app context plugins. tmpl.render(template, context)
renders a template with the given context. template
can be either the name of an existing template or the content of a new template.
wq.app for PyPI
define(['wq/template', ...], function(tmpl, ...) {
@wq/app for npm
import tmpl from '@wq/template';
var config = {
'templates': {
'example': '{{name}} {{>example_partial}}',
'item_detail': '<html><body><div data-role=page>...',
},
'partials': {
'example_partial': "Example"
}
};
tmpl.init(config);
tmpl.render("example", {'name': 'First'}); // Result: First Example
tmpl.render("Another {{>example_partial}}", {'name': 'Another'}); // Result: Another Example
var $page = tmpl.inject("item_detail", {"id": 123, ...});
Note: Rather than writing out the configuration object by hand, you can use the wq collectjson command to load HTML files from a folder.
