A simple string templating library for Nim
Import the 'templates' library at the top of your nim module, and use the syntax:
import templates
proc testPage (name: string): string = tmpli html"""
<body>
<h1>Hello $name!</h1>
</body>
"""
echo testPage("Charlie")The templates syntax supports $for and $while loops, $if/$elif/$else, multi-line statements, $case statements, procedure calls, etc. Look at the tests.nim file for more examples.
Realistically any well-structured syntax can be used as a template, but the NimLime SublimeText plugin supports syntax highlighting for the following template types;
- HTML / XML
- CSS
- Javascript
- GLSL
- RST
- Markdown
These can be invoked as follows:
tmpli xml""" ... """
tmpli css""" ... """
# etc
