/*
Package amber is an elegant templating engine for Go Programming Language.
It is inspired from HAML and Jade.
Tags
A tag is simply a word:
html
is converted to
<html></html>
It is possible to add ID and CLASS attributes to tags:
div#main
span.time
are converted to
<div id="main"></div>
<span class="time"></span>
Any arbitrary attribute name / value pair can be added this way:
a[href="http://www.google.com"]
You can mix multiple attributes together
a#someid[href="/"][title="Main Page"].main.link Click Link
gets converted to
<a id="someid" class="main link" href="/" title="Main Page">Click Link</a>
It is also possible to define these attributes within the block of a tag
a
#someid
[href="/"]
[title="Main Page"]
.main
.link
| Click Link
Doctypes
To add a doctype, use `!!!` or `doctype` keywords:
!!! transitional
// <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
or use `doctype`
doctype 5
// <!DOCTYPE html>
Available options: `5`, `default`, `xml`, `transitional`, `strict`, `frameset`, `1.1`, `basic`, `mobile`
Tag Content
For single line tag text, you can just append the text after tag name:
p Testing!
would yield
<p>Testing!</p>
For multi line tag text, or nested tags, use indentation:
html
head
title Page Title
body
div#content
p
| This is a long page content
| These lines are all part of the parent p
a[href="/"] Go To Main Page
Data
Input template data can be reached by key names directly. For example, assuming the template has been
executed with following JSON data:
{
"Name": "Ekin",
"LastName": "Koc",
"Repositories": [
"amber",
"dateformat"
],
"Avatar": "/images/ekin.jpg",
"Friends": 17
}
It is possible to interpolate fields using `#{}`
p Welcome #{Name}!
would print
<p>Welcome Ekin!</p>
Attributes can have field names as well
a[title=Name][href="/ekin.koc"]
would print
<a title="Ekin" href="/ekin.koc"></a>
Expressions
Amber can expand basic expressions. For example, it is possible to concatenate strings with + operator:
p Welcome #{Name + " " + LastName}
Arithmetic expressions are also supported:
p You need #{50 - Friends} more friends to reach 50!
Expressions can be used within attributes
img[alt=Name + " " + LastName][src=Avatar]
Variables
It is possible to define dynamic variables within templates,
all variables must start with a $ character and can be assigned as in the following example:
div
$fullname = Name + " " + LastName
p Welcome #{$fullname}
If you need to access the supplied data itself (i.e. the object containing Name, LastName etc fields.) you can use `$` variable
p $.Name
Conditions
For conditional blocks, it is possible to use `if <expression>`
div
if Friends > 10
p You have more than 10 friends
else if Friends > 5
p You have more than 5 friends
else
p You need more friends
Again, it is possible to use arithmetic and boolean operators
div
if Name == "Ekin" && LastName == "Koc"
p Hey! I know you..
There is a special syntax for conditional attributes. Only block attributes can have conditions;
div
.hasfriends ? Friends > 0
This would yield a div with `hasfriends` class only if the `Friends > 0` condition holds. It is
perfectly fine to use the same method for other types of attributes:
div
#foo ? Name == "Ekin"
[bar=baz] ? len(Repositories) > 0
Iterations
It is possible to iterate over arrays and maps using `each`:
each $repo in Repositories
p #{$repo}
would print
p amber
p dateformat
It is also possible to iterate over values and indexes at the same time
each $i, $repo in Repositories
p
.even ? $i % 2 == 0
.odd ? $i % 2 == 1
Includes
A template can include other templates using `include`:
a.amber
p this is template a
b.amber
p this is template b
c.amber
div
include a
include b
gets compiled to
div
p this is template a
p this is template b
Inheritance
A template can inherit other templates. In order to inherit another template, an `extends` keyword should be used.
Parent template can define several named blocks and child template can modify the blocks.
master.amber
!!! 5
html
head
block meta
meta[name="description"][content="This is a great website"]
title
block title
| Default title
body
block content
subpage.amber
extends master
block title
| Some sub page!
block append meta
// This will be added after the description meta tag. It is also possible
// to prepend something to an existing block
meta[name="keywords"][content="foo bar"]
block content
div#main
p Some content here
