XJST

XSLT inspired JavaScript templates (with spices). Built on NodeJS and OMeta/JS.

Installation

Examples

It is still at an early stage of development. The easiest and ugly way to look at examples of this:

git clone git://github.com/veged/xjst.git
make -C xjst tests
make -C xjst tests/menu

More low-level details are available in tests/tests.js.

You can also use bin/xjst to compile *.xjst to CommonJS module.

Some technical details (in Russian) can be found in doc/tech.ru.md.

Changelog

2011.11.3, Version 0.1.5

API Changes:

• Split ometa into Parser, Translator, Compiler. Parser+Compiler isn't translating locals.

• Given string as first argument xjst.compile() will return compiled and evaluated version of template

• Given array (ast-tree) as first argument xjst.compile() will return source code (compatibility mode)

• New arguments: xjst.compile(source, filename, options).

  filename is used for evaluation (visible in stack traces). options: wrap (default: true) - wrap code into (function(exports){...})() statement. merge (default: false) - adding hash information required for merging templates.

• Introduce apply keyword: apply() => this.apply(), apply(x = 1) => local(x = 1) this.apply(), apply({ x: 1 }) => local(this.x = 1) this.apply()

Various changes

• Recursion optimization.
• Big switches will be split into hashmaps
• Split parts of code in functions to simplify optimization for v8
• Use coa for cli
• Benchmarks and tests
