use in nodejs api

var smarty2etpl = require('smarty2etpl');

var etpl = smarty2etpl.compile('hello, {%$name%}');

console.log(etpl);

config smarty2etpl

modifier src/config.json to set ldelim or ldelim. Save config.json and run command in your terminal:

npm install
grunt build

This requires grunt-cli and you can get it by:

sudo npm install -g grunt-cli

Default ldelim and rdelim are {% and %}

Notice

current version only support these commands, modifiers or php functions:

• Commands
  • foreach
  • if
  • block
  • extends
  • function
  • assign
  • strip
• Modifiers
  • escape
• php functions
  • count
  • empty: use this php function will make your page rely on jQuery.isEmptyObject
  • isset

these features are not supported:

• if parameter value is a string, the '' or "" cannot be bypassed:

this is ok:

{%funciton name='menu'%} ... {%/function%}
{%$data|escape:'html'%}

this will cause pasre error:

{%funciton name=menu%} ... {%/function%}
{%$data|escape:html%}

• foreach

only support smarty2 syntax

{%foreach from=$data item=$item key=$key"%}

@index @first @last etc. this feature cannot go with etpl for now;

There maybe is a trick way, and we may support this in future;

• all kinds short-hand. Only key=value parameters supported

this is ok:

{%function name='menu' level=0%} ... {%/block%} 

these will cause parse error:

{%block menu%} ... {%/block%}

• function chainable such as:

  {%json_encode($data)|escape:'javascipt'%}

TODO

pull requests are totally welcome

• make ldemin and rdemin can be set through nodejs api
• support these commands:
  • include
  • while
  • for
• strengthen these commands:
  • foreach
