Text.Microstache
Description
This is a Haskell implementation of Mustache templates. The implementation conforms to the version 1.1.3 of official Mustache specification https://github.com/mustache/spec. It is extremely simple and straightforward to use with minimal but complete API — three functions to compile templates (from directory, from file, and from lazy text) and one to render them.
For rendering you only need to create Aeson's Value where
you put the data to interpolate. Since the library re-uses Aeson's
instances and most data types in Haskell ecosystem are instances of
classes like ToJSON, the whole process is very simple for
the end user.
Template Haskell helpers for compilation of templates at compile time are available in the Text.Microstache.Compile.TH module. The helpers are currently available only for GHC 8 users though.
One feature that is not currently supported is lambdas. The feature is marked as optional in the spec and can be emulated via processing of parsed template representation. The decision to drop lambdas is intentional, for the sake of simplicity and better integration with Aeson.
Here is an example of basic usage:
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
module Main (main) where
import Data.Aeson
import Data.Text
import Text.Microstache
import qualified Data.Text.Lazy.IO as TIO
main :: IO ()
main = do
let res = compileMustacheText "foo"
"Hi, {{name}}! You have:\n{{#things}}\n * {{.}}\n{{/things}}\n"
case res of
Left err -> print err
Right template -> TIO.putStr $ renderMustache template $ object
[ "name" .= ("John" :: Text)
, "things" .= ["pen" :: Text, "candle", "egg"]
]If I run the program, it prints the following:
Hi, John! You have: * pen * candle * egg

Types
Mustache template as name of “top-level” template and a collection of all available templates (partials).
Template is a Semigroup. This means that you can combine Templates
(and their caches) using the ( operator, the resulting <>)Template
will have the same currently selected template as the left one. Union of
caches is also left-biased.

Instances
Identifier for values to interpolate.
The representation is the following:
[]— empty list means implicit iterators;[text]— single key is a normal identifier;[text1, text2]— multiple keys represent dotted names.

data MustacheException Source #
Exception that is thrown when parsing of a template has failed or referenced values were not provided.
Constructors
| MustacheParserException ParseError | Template parser has failed. This contains the parse error. |
| MustacheRenderException PName Key | Deprecated: Not thrown anymore, will be removed in the next major version of microstache A referenced value was not provided. The exception provides info
about partial in which the issue happened |
Instances
displayMustacheException :: MustacheException -> String Source #
Since: 1.0.1
data MustacheWarning Source #
Since: 1.0.1
Constructors
| MustacheVariableNotFound Key | The template contained a variable for which there was no data counterpart in the current context |
| MustacheDirectlyRenderedValue Key | A complex value such as an Object or Array was directly rendered into the template |
Instances
displayMustacheWarning :: MustacheWarning -> String Source #

Compiling
Arguments
| :: PName | Which template to select after compiling |
| -> FilePath | Directory with templates |
| -> IO Template | The resulting template |
Compile all templates in specified directory and select one. Template
files should have extension mustache, (e.g. foo.mustache) to be
recognized. This function does not scan the directory recursively.
The action can throw the same exceptions as getDirectoryContents, and
readFile.
Compile single Mustache template and select it.
The action can throw the same exceptions as readFile.
Arguments
| :: PName | How to name the template? |
| -> Text | The template to compile |
| -> Either ParseError Template | The result |
Rendering
renderMustacheW :: Template -> Value -> ([MustacheWarning], Text) Source #
Like renderMustache but also return a list of warnings.
Since: 1.0.1
