Scriptme

Scriptme is a smart-template engine written in Node.js inspired by script-host platform like php+html but using javascript code, you cant make text/plain, source code or anything you want

This project still remains as an idea. I'm working on it.

npm install

npm install scriptme

example

create a template file /path/from/template.js

basic

;
// ![description]
(function( $ ) {
  $.fn.![pluginname] = function() {
    
    $.fn.foo = function() {
    	return $('.bar');
	};

	$.fn.bar = function() {
		return $('.foo');
	};

  };
})( jQuery );

advanced

;
// ![description]

<!js 
	// multiple javascript code here
	var funcs = ['foo', 'bar'];
!>

(function( $ ) {
  $.fn.![pluginname] = function() {

    <!js for(var i=0; i < funcs.legth; i++) {!>
	$.fn.!!funcs[i] = function() {
    	return $('.!!funcs[i]');
	};
	<!js } !>

  };
})( jQuery );

json data.json

{
	pluginname: 'myPlugin',
	description: 'my jQuery plugin description'
}

output

./myplugin.js

;
// my jQuery plugin description
(function( $ ) {
  $.fn.myPlugin = function() {
    
    $.fn.foo = function() {
    	return $('.bar');
	};

	$.fn.bar = function() {
		return $('.foo');
	};

  };
})( jQuery );

node.js code

var 
    fs = require('fs'),
    scriptme = require('scriptme');

var data = {
	pluginname: 'myPlugin',
	description: 'my jQuery plugin description'
};

var template = fs.readFileSync('/path/from/template.js');
var writer = fs.createWriteStream('./myplugin.js');

scriptme.render(script, writer, context, function(error, response) {
	
	if (error !== null) {
		console.error(error);	
		return;
	}
	
	console.log('ready!');	
	
});

command

scriptme -i "path/from/template.js" -o myplugin.js -d data.json

more information

When I started thinking on this tool, I did it because I worked on projects with different langs and I saw that the source code are different to another in little changes and if you think one solution for a program or a module or a function, why you need write every time its precondition changes or when the technology change?, so i started thinking in intelligent templates with inputs params to get an usefull output, imagine if you can make an index.html template for your web projects and when you start a new web project copy its template and change only the title, this tool help to make this task easily and you can also use this tool for change the title at runtime too. I worked on developing an Personal ORM and use this formula for it but this project is writen in C#.Net and is not multiplataform and i wanted share this tool on this lang but would be leaving out to many people and then i discovered Node.js and i loved. So i'm here writing js code i not so good (a little newbie) but i will try to give the best.

NOTE: Sorry for my bad english i working on it but, i'm write source code nothing else matters.
