giom GoDoc Build Status

Notice

While giom is perfectly fine and stable to use, I've been working on a direct Pug.js port for Go. It is somewhat hacky at the moment but take a look at Pug.go if you are looking for a Pug.js compatible Go template engine.

Usage

import "github.com/gad-lang/giom"

giom 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": [
    "giom",
    "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

giom 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 giom
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

Comps

Comps (reusable template blocks that accept arguments) can be defined:

mixin surprise
    span Surprise!
mixin link($href, $title, $text)
    a[href=$href][title=$title] ${$text}

and then called multiple times within a template (or even within another mixin definition):

div
	+surprise
	+surprise
    +link("http://google.com", "Google", "Check out Google")

Template data, variables, expressions, etc., can all be passed as arguments:

+link(GoogleUrl, $googleTitle, "Check out " + $googleTitle)

Imports

A template can import other templates using import:

a.giom
    p this is template a

b.giom
    p this is template b

c.giom
    div
        import a
        import 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.giom
    !!! 5
    html
        head
            block meta
                meta[name="description"][content="This is a great website"]

            title
                block title
                    | Default title
        body
            block content

subpage.giom
    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 someting to an existing block
        meta[name="keywords"][content="foo bar"]

    block content
        div#main
            p Some content here

Usage

var DefaultOptions = Options{true, false}
var DefaultDirOptions = DirOptions{".giom", true}
func Compile
func Compile(input string, options Options) (*template.Template, error)

Parses and compiles the supplied giom template string. Returns corresponding Go Template (html/templates) instance. Necessary runtime functions will be injected and the template will be ready to be executed.

func CompileFile
func CompileFile(filename string, options Options) (*template.Template, error)

Parses and compiles the contents of supplied filename. Returns corresponding Go Template (html/templates) instance. Necessary runtime functions will be injected and the template will be ready to be executed.

func CompileDir
func CompileDir(dirname string, dopt DirOptions, opt Options) (map[string]*template.Template, error)

Parses and compiles the contents of a supplied directory name. Returns a mapping of template name (extension stripped) to corresponding Go Template (html/template) instance. Necessary runtime functions will be injected and the template will be ready to be executed.

If there are templates in subdirectories, its key in the map will be it's path relative to dirname. For example:

templates/
   |-- index.giom
   |-- layouts/
         |-- base.giom
templates, err := giom.CompileDir("templates/", giom.DefaultDirOptions, giom.DefaultOptions)
templates["index"] // index.giom Go Template
templates["layouts/base"] // base.giom Go Template

By default, the search will be recursive and will match only files ending in ".giom". If recursive is turned off, it will only search the top level of the directory. Specified extension must start with a period.

type Compiler
type Compiler struct {
	// Compiler options
	Options
}

Compiler is the main interface of giom Template Engine. In order to use an giom template, it is required to create a Compiler and compile an giom source to native Go template.

compiler := giom.New()
// Parse the input file
err := compiler.ParseFile("./input.giom")
if err == nil {
	// Compile input file to Go template
	tpl, err := compiler.Compile()
	if err == nil {
		// Check built in html/template documentation for further details
		tpl.Execute(os.Stdout, somedata)
	}
}
func New
func New() *Compiler

Create and initialize a new Compiler

func (*Compiler) Compile
func (c *Compiler) Compile() (*template.Template, error)

Compile giom and create a Go Template (html/templates) instance. Necessary runtime functions will be injected and the template will be ready to be executed.

func (*Compiler) CompileString
func (c *Compiler) CompileString() (string, error)

Compile template and return the Go Template source You would not be using this unless debugging / checking the output. Please use Compile method to obtain a template instance directly.

func (*Compiler) CompileWriter
func (c *Compiler) CompileWriter(out io.Writer) (err error)

Compile giom and write the Go Template source into given io.Writer instance You would not be using this unless debugging / checking the output. Please use Compile method to obtain a template instance directly.

func (*Compiler) Parse
func (c *Compiler) Parse(input string) (err error)

Parse given raw giom template string.

func (*Compiler) ParseFile
func (c *Compiler) ParseFile(filename string) (err error)

Parse the giom template file in given path

type Options
type Options struct {
	// Setting if pretty printing is enabled.
	// Pretty printing ensures that the output html is properly indented and in human readable form.
	// If disabled, produced HTML is compact. This might be more suitable in production environments.
	// Defaukt: true
	PrettyPrint bool
	// Setting if line number emitting is enabled
	// In this form, giom emits line number comments in the output template. It is usable in debugging environments.
	// Default: false
	LineNumbers bool
}
type DirOptions
// Used to provide options to directory compilation
type DirOptions struct {
	// File extension to match for compilation
	Ext string
	// Whether or not to walk subdirectories
	Recursive bool
}
