lite

LIghtweight Template Engine for C++ inspired by cpptemplate

So, why ? - Because I want something simple Boost and Qt free.

This is a Work In Progress. So test it but don't use it.

Dependencies

Compiling

• cmake

Documentation

• doxygen (optional)
• graphviz (optional)

Testing

• gtest

Compiling

Install cmake, doxygen and graphviz, then :

On MacOSX, or Linux

cd <path to lite root>
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make test
make doc
make install

On Windows

You need to install MinGW. Add the bin directory of your MinGW installation in your PATH. Then, open a Windows (not MSYS) console and :

cd <path to lite root>
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..
mingw32-make
mingw32-make test
mingw32-make doc
mingw32-make install

If you want to use Visual Studio... Try it ;)

Usage

Simple

std::string tmpl = "Hello {% $who %}{% $sign %}\nHow are you ?";

lite::data *data = new lite::map();
data->set("who", "world");
data->set("sign", "!");

std::string result = lite::render(tmpl, data);

IF

std::string tmpl = "Hello " 
  "{% if name %}{% $name %}{% end %}" 
  "{% if not name %}world{% end %}";

lite::data *data = new lite::map();
data->set("person", "you");

std::string result = lite::render(tmpl, data);

You can use

$var 
$var == value
$var != value
$var < value
$var > value
$var <= value
$var >= value

Or its negation

not $var
not $var == value
not $var != value
not $var < value
not $var > value
not $var <= value
not $var >= value

FOR

std::string tmpl = "{% for number in sequence %}"
  "* {% $number %}\n"
  "{% end %}"; 

lite::data *list = new lite::list();
list->set("1");
list->set("2");
list->set("3");

lite::data *data = new lite::map();
data->set("sequence", list);

std::string result = lite::render(tmpl, data);
