rustlavel-view 0.7.2

//! The view's rules for reading a `Json` value: truth, order, and text.
//!
//! There is deliberately no second value type here. Templates render whatever
//! the rest of the framework already speaks — `rustlavel_core::Json` — so a
//! query result or an API payload can go straight into a view without a
//! conversion layer in between. What lives in this module is only the handful
//! of decisions a template engine has to make on top of that model.

use rustlavel_core::Json;

/// Whether a value counts as true for `@if` and `&&`/`||`.
///
/// The rules follow PHP closely enough that a Laravel developer's instinct is
/// right: nothing, zero, empty text, and an empty collection are all falsy.
/// That is what makes `@if(items)` read naturally instead of forcing
/// `@if(items.length > 0)`.
pub fn truthy(value: &Json) -> bool {

        Json::Null => false,
        Json::Bool(flag) => *flag,

        // comparison involving it should quietly succeed.

    }
}

/// Ordering for `<`, `<=`, `>` and `>=`.
///
/// Only numbers and strings are ordered, and only against their own kind:
/// comparing a number to a string is a mistake in the view, and answering
/// `false` to both `a < b` and `a > b` is a far better clue than inventing a
/// coercion rule the author has to memorise.

    }
}

/// Render a value as the text `{{ }}` would emit, before escaping.
///
/// `null` becomes the empty string. That is the single most important line in
/// this file: a missing key must leave a hole in the page, never take the page
/// down.
