Stubble for Dart #
Overview #
Stubble is a simplified version of the Handlebars template engine for Dart.
Example #
void main() {
final s = Stubble();
final template = 'Hello! I\'m {{name}}! Nice to meet you!' ;
final data = {'name': 'Stubble'};
final fn = s.compile(template);
print(fn(data)); // prints "Hello! I'm Stubble! Nice to meet you!"
}

Stubble constructions #
{{<path>}} - getter for property from data by it's path. If property by this path is exists then {{<path>}} will be replaced by a string representation of its value
{{$<helper_name> [<attributes>]}} - simple helper-function call. Will be replaced by a helper's result
{{#<helper_name> [<attributes>]}}<body>{{/<name>}} - block helper-function call. Also will be replaced with result of helper call. The second parameter of helper function in this case is compile function with block's 'body' as template
{{#if <condition>}}<body>{{/if}} - is statement block. If <condition> is true, will be replaced with body. Body will be compiled too.
{{#with <path>}}<body>{{/with}} - allows to pass a part of context data and work with it directly
{{#each <path>}}<body>{{/each}} - loop for a context data by path. data should has a type of array or map
Path requirements #
path is a string, starts with an alphabet character and can consist of:
lowercase or uppercase latin characters
numbers
underscore
dot as path divider. It's mean that A.B.C will return data["A"]["B"]["C"], not a data["A.B.C"]
Other character are prohibited
Restrictions:
Path can't begin with dot
Path can't end with dot
Helper functions #
Stubble object has an registerHelper method, that allows to register special named functions that can be used in templates by names. Example:
void main() {
final s = Stubble();
s.registerHelper('testHelper', (List attr, Function fn) {
return attr[0] * 10;
});
}

Each registered function should have two parameters:
List of attributes. All helper functions attributes from it's call in template will be placed here in order left to right like they passed in helper call
Compiler function - available only in block-helper calls. The body of helper-function is a template of this compiler function. Example:
void main() {
final s = Stubble();
stubble.registerHelper('simpleBlockHelper', (List attrs, Function fn) { // fn - is a result of Stubble.compile(<template>); the <template> in this example is "{{A}}; {{B}}"
final data = {'A': 'First', 'B': 'Second'};
return fn(data);
});
final fn = stubble.compile('{{#simpleBlockHelper}}{{A}}; {{B}}{{/simpleBlockHelper}}');
final res = fn({});
print(res); //will print 'First param; Second param'
}

You see? stubble.compile() in the last example didn't receive any context data but {{A}}; {{B}} was transformed to First; Second. Where dit he got the data?
Helper function got this data while processing and pass it to the fn function.
Also you can remove helper function with removeHelper(String name) by name or drop them all with dropHelpers() from a concrete stubble object.
Helper name requirements #
Helper name is a string, starts with an alphabet character and can consist of:
lowercase or uppercase latin characters
numbers
underscore
Attributes requirements #
Each helper function call in template can have numerous of attributes declarations.
All passed attributes will be stored in helper's attrs parameter.
There is no limits in how many attributes you can pass in helper call.
There is three available types of attributes.
path - is a path to data in context. if path is incorrect will return 'null'. Example:
{{$prinName data.person}}

string - string value. should be placed in a double or single quotes. Example:
{{$fullName 'John' "Doe"}}
copied to clipboard
number - number value. Can be int or float. For float use . symbol as a divider. Example:
{{$formatDate 1580193175}}
copied to clipboard
IF block condition requirements #
condition for #if must satisfy the following pattern - <path><operator>(<path>|<value>), where:
<path> - path to data in context
<operator> - conditional operator. May be ==, !=, <=, >=, <, >,
<value> - test value - number, string or bool:
The number is specified without quotes.
If the number is float, then the dot must be used as a separator
String values are indicated in double or single quotes
For bool values, true or false values are used.
Blocks body requirements #
There are no special requirements for the body at the moment, but I think the use of special characters, as well as unprintable characters, may not affect the performance of the template engine in the best way.
