HSmarty

Haskell implementation of a subset of the PHP-Smarty template language.

Usage

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
module Main where

import Text.HSmarty

import qualified Data.HashMap.Strict as HM
import qualified Data.Text as T

main :: IO ()
main =
   renderTemplate "test.tpl" $
   HM.fromList [ ( "title", mkParam ("SomeTitle" :: T.Text))
               , ( "list", mkParam (["a", "b"] :: [T.Text]))
               ]

Implemented features

• Basic template parsing (See Basic Syntax)
• Smarty comments
• Basic expressions (eg. $var, $var.mapItem, $var[3], $var@property, 3+4, ..)
• Branching (eg. {if ..}, {elseif ..}, {else}, ..)
• Looping with properties (eg. {foreach $el as $k=>$v}, {$v@last}, {foreachelse}, {/foreach})
• Including other templates ({include file='other.tpl'})
• Defining functions ({function name='foo'}...{/function})
• Calling functions ({foo arg1="bar"})
• Assigning variables ({$foo=1+2+3})
• Capturing output into variables ({capture name='blabla'}<b>{$some}</b>{/capture})

Non-Smarty features

• Explicit scoping blocks ({scope}{$localFoo=123}{$localFoo}{/scope}{* $localFoo not available here! *})
