Variables

Variables are passed in when Odesza templates are rendered. Scope is maintained through includes and extends.

var vars = {
  name = 'world'
};

odesza.render('hello, ${name}', vars); // hello world

#Inline JS Odesza makes it easy to write inline JavaScript in your templates. Under the hood, templates are evaluated as ES6 template strings, which means you have access to ${} expressions.

code

var vars = {
  names: ['wells', 'joe', 'dom']
};

odesza.compile('greetings.ode', vars);

greetings.ode

<h2>welcome ${names.join(', ')}!</h2>

${(() => {

  // this is a self-executing function expression inside an ES6 template string.
  // essentially that means you can write any inline js you want here. the
  // following code is to demonstrate how you can programatically generate HTML.

  var items = [];

  names.forEach((name, index) => {
    items.push(`<div>${index + 1}: ${name}</div>`)
  });

  return items.join('<br/>');

})()}

output

<h2>welcome wells, joe, dom!</h2>
<div>1: wells</div><br/>
<div>2: joe</div><br/>
<div>3: dom</div>

Partials

welcome.ode

welcome, ${name}!

question.ode

include welcome

would you like to play a game, ${name}?

code

var vars = {
  name: 'foo'
};

odesza.compile('question', vars);

output

welcome, foo!

would you like to play a game, foo?

Inheritance

Odesza gives you access to multiple inheritance through extending templates and block scopes.

layout.ode

<!doctype html>

<html>
  <head>
    <title>${title}</title>
    block js
  </head>
  <body>
    block content
  </body>
</html>

page.ode (extends layout.ode)

extend layout

block js
<script src="${base_path}/page.js"></script>
endblock

block content
<p>
  Some content.
</p>
endblock

extended_page.ode (extends page.ode, overwrites 'content' block)

extend page

block content
<p>
  Overwritten content.
</p>
endblock

code

var vars = {
  title: 'hello world',
  base_path: 'public/js'
};

odesza.compile('extended_page.ode', vars);

output

<!doctype html>

<html>
  <head>
    <title>hello world</title>
    <script src="public/js/page.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>
      Overwritten content.
    </p>
  </body>
</html>

#Express Support index.js

app.set('view engine', 'ode');
app.engine('.ode', require('odesza').__express);
