tumblr-theme-parser
Advanced tools
This tool allows custom Tumblr themes to be parsed / rendered locally, so they can be used outside of Tumblr.
It should be noted that this parser is slightly more strict than the one Tumblr uses. For example, each block tag must be matched with a closing block tag (omitting it will cause the parser to fail), and tags must open and close in the correct order ({block:a}{block:b}{/block:b}{/block:a} is correct, but {block:a}{block:b}{/block:a}{/block:b} will fail).
This parser allows case insensitivity in tag and variable names (because we want to match the Tumblr compiler as closely as possible). However, you should still use PascalCase for all of your identifiers, because this is the convention in Tumblr themes.
The Markup of the theme is passed in via STDIN, and the compiled theme is sent to STDOUT. Data for the theme is passed in the form of a file path. Warnings (like undefined variables or other non-fatal issues) are sent to STDERR. A typical command might look like this:
$ tumblr-theme-parser -d data.json < theme.html > compiled-theme.html
For example, with a Tumblr theme like this (saved as theme.html):
<html>
<head>
<title>{Title}</title>
</head>
<body>
{block:Posts}
<article class="{PostType}">
{block:Text}
{block:Title}
<a href="{Permalink}">
<h2>{Title}</h2>
</a>
{/block:Title}
{Body}
{/block:Text}
</article>
{/block:Posts}
</body>
</html>
And this data from Tumblr (saved as data.json):
{
"Title": "My Title",
"block:Posts": [
{
"block:Body": true,
"block:Title": true,
"Body": "<p>test<br></p>",
"Permalink": "http:/test.tumblr.com/post/118449891560/test",
"PostType": "text",
"Title": "My first post"
}, {
"block:Body": true,
"block:Title": true,
"Body": "<p>test<br></p>",
"Permalink": "http:/test.tumblr.com/post/891560118449/test",
"PostType": "text",
"Title": "My second post"
}
]
}
The rendered HTML looks like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<article class="text">
<a href="http:/test.tumblr.com/post/118449891560/test">
<h2>My first post</h2>
</a>
<p>test<br></p>
</article>
<article class="text">
<a href="http:/test.tumblr.com/post/891560118449/test">
<h2>My second post</h2>
</a>
<p>test<br></p>
</article>
</body>
</html>
Usage in JavaScript is very simple. The module exports an object containing 2 functions: compile and parse. The compile function takes the input HTML & optional associated data, and returns the compiled HTML.
compile = require('tumblr-theme-parser').compile
compiledHtml = compile(themeHtml, data)
