Members

Classes

WebTemplateRenderer class WebTemplateRenderer: A class to render web template files into HTML documents.

Functions

multiReplace string multiReplace(string what, string[] things): Replaces things[0] with things[1] in what all at once. Returns the new string.
renderTemplate Document renderTemplate(string templateName, var context, var skeletonContext, string skeletonName, TemplateLoader loader): Loads a template from the template directory, applies the given context variables, and returns the html document in dom format. You can use Document.toString to make a string.
serveTemplateDirectory auto serveTemplateDirectory(string urlPrefix, string directory, string skeleton, string extension, string templateDirectory): Serves up a directory of template files as html. This is meant to be used for some near-static html in the midst of an application, giving you a little bit of dynamic content and conveniences with the ease of editing files without recompiles.

Interfaces

TemplateLoader interface TemplateLoader: A loader object for reading raw template, so you can use something other than files if you like.

Skeleton struct Skeleton: UDA to put on a method when using WebPresenterWithTemplateSupport. Overrides the default template skeleton file name.
Template struct Template: UDA to put on a method when using WebPresenterWithTemplateSupport. Overrides default generic element formatting and instead uses the specified template name to render the return value.
