Struct Templar 

pub struct Templar { /* private fields */ }

The Templar struct is the primary template parser.

A new customized instance can be created using TemplarBuilder or alternatively Templar::global() can be used if the default configurations are acceptable.

Usage

use templar::*;

let context = StandardContext::new();

// parse and render a template, render returns a string
let template = Templar::global().parse("This is a template with {{ 'an expression' }}")?;
assert_eq!(template.render(&context)?, "This is a template with an expression");

// parse and execute an expression, this can be converted to most native types
let expression = Templar::global().parse_expression("5 + 5")?;
assert_eq!(*expression.exec(&context), 10 as i64);

Implementations

impl Templar

pub fn parse_template(&self, input: &str) -> Result<Template>

Parse a template string into a Template

pub fn parse_expression(&self, input: &str) -> Result<Template>

Parses an expression string into a Template

impl Templar

pub fn global() -> &'static Templar

Retrieve the global default instance of Templar when the defaults meet your needs.

pub fn parse<T: Parseable<U>, U>(&self, data: T) -> Result<U>

Parse a Template or TemplateTree value.

let template: Template = Templar::global().parse("{{ [5, 8, 3] | index(0) }}")?;
assert_eq!(*template.exec(&context), 5 as i64);

pub fn parse_json(&self, json: &str) -> Result<TemplateTree>

Parse a JSON string to a TemplateTree. This is useful if you want to parse a configuration file directly to a context as TemplateTree is directly convertible to a context.

Usage

let json_string = r#"
{
    "key": "{{ script('echo -n test') | key('stdout') }}"
}
"#;


let tree = Templar::global().parse_json(json_string)?;
let template: Template = tree.get_path(&["key"]).try_into()?;

assert_eq!(template.render(&context)?, "test");

pub fn parse_yaml(&self, yml: &str) -> Result<TemplateTree>

Identical to parse_json except this expects a YAML string.

Trait Implementations

impl Default for Templar

fn default() -> Templar

Returns the “default value” for a type.
