#{ code /}The markup language is composed of tag of this form:
#{command first_Arg, second_Arg, ... /}
The available commands are:
#{set title,'MyPage' /}
#{set menu,'home' /}
#{extends '/model.html' /}
<div>...</div>
#{include '/menu-' + menu + '.html' /}
<p>Bienvenue sur #{get title/}</p>
You can use this script of three different ways. On command line: > node lib/fastapp.js [html_file]
On your script:
var fapp = require ('fastapp')
fapp.buildFile(path, null, function (err, data) {
//...
});
Using Express:
var fapp = require('fastapp'),
express = require('express'),
app = express(),
option = { /* ... */ }
// What's on /dist folder is freely accessible
app.get('/dist', express.static(__dirname + '/dist'));
// For the rest, we use the engine
app.get('/views', fapp.lookAt(__dirname + '/views', option));
app.listen(80);

You have two way of doing this, the extends and include commands.
The extends allow to define a parent. This is always the last executed command on the page.
