Comb is a simple templating system for Clojure. You can use Comb to embed fragments of Clojure code into a text file.
The <% %> tags are used to embed a section of Clojure code with side-effects.
This is commonly used for control structures like loops or conditionals.
For example:
(require '[comb.template :as template])
(template/eval "<% (dotimes [x 3] %>foo<% ) %>")
=> "foofoofoo"
The <%= %> tags will be subsituted for the value of the expression within them.
This is used for inserting values into a template.
For example:
(template/eval "Hello <%= name %>" {:name "Alice"})
=> "Hello Alice"
To install, add the following dependency to your project.clj file:
[comb "0.1.1"]
(template/eval source)
(template/eval source bindings)
Evaluate a template source using an optional map of bindings. The template
source can be a string, or any I/O source understood by the standard slurp
function.
Example of use:
(template/eval "Hello <%= name %>" {:name "Bob"})
(template/fn args source)
Compile a template source into a anonymous function. This is a lot faster
than template/eval for repeated calls, as the template source is only
parsed when the function is created.
Examples of use:
(def hello
(template/fn [name] "Hello <%= name %>"))
(hello "Alice")
