Class Tilt::Template
In: lib/tilt/template.rb
Parent: Object

Base class for template implementations. Subclasses must implement the prepare method and one of the evaluate or precompiled_template methods.

engine_initialized -> engine_initialized?

Attributes

data  [R]  Template source; loaded from a file or given directly.
default_mime_type  [RW] 
engine_initialized  [RW] 
file  [R]  The name of the file where the template data was loaded from.
line  [R]  The line number in file where template data was loaded from.
options  [R]  A Hash of template engine specific options. This is passed directly to the underlying engine and is not used by the generic template interface.

Public Class methods

Create a new template with the file, line, and options specified. By default, template data is read from the file. When a block is given, it should read template data and return as a String. When file is nil, a block is required.

All arguments are optional.

71:     end

Public Instance methods

Whether or not this template engine allows executing Ruby script within the template. If this is false, scope and locals will generally not be used, nor will the provided block be avaiable via yield. This should be overridden by template subclasses.

[Source]

     # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 100
100:     def allows_script?
101:       true
102:     end

The basename of the template file.

[Source]

    # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 81
81:     def basename(suffix='')
82:       File.basename(file, suffix) if file
83:     end

The filename used in backtraces to describe the template.

[Source]

    # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 91
91:     def eval_file
92:       file || '(__TEMPLATE__)'
93:     end

The template file‘s basename with all extensions chomped off.

[Source]

    # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 86
86:     def name
87:       basename.split('.', 2).first if basename
88:     end

Render the template in the given scope with the locals specified. If a block is given, it is typically available within the template via yield.

[Source]

    # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 76
76:     def render(scope=Object.new, locals={}, &block)
77:       evaluate scope, locals || {}, &block
78:     end

Protected Instance methods

The compiled method for the locals keys provided.

[Source]

     # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 206
206:     def compiled_method(locals_keys)
207:       @compiled_method[locals_keys] ||=
208:         compile_template_method(locals_keys)
209:     end

Execute the compiled template and return the result string. Template evaluation is guaranteed to be performed in the scope object with the locals specified and with support for yielding to the block.

This method is only used by source generating templates. Subclasses that override render() may not support all features.

[Source]

     # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 142
142:     def evaluate(scope, locals, &block)
143:       method = compiled_method(locals.keys)
144:       method.bind(scope).call(locals, &block)
145:     end

Called once and only once for each template subclass the first time the template class is initialized. This should be used to require the underlying template library and perform any initial setup.

[Source]

     # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 108
108:     def initialize_engine
109:     end

Generates all template source by combining the preamble, template, and postamble and returns a two-tuple of the form: [source, offset], where source is the string containing (Ruby) source code for the template and offset is the integer line offset where line reporting should begin.

Template subclasses may override this method when they need complete control over source generation or want to adjust the default line offset. In most cases, overriding the precompiled_template method is easier and more appropriate.

[Source]

     # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 156
156:     def precompiled(locals)
157:       preamble = precompiled_preamble(locals)
158:       template = precompiled_template(locals)
159:       magic_comment = extract_magic_comment(template)
160:       if magic_comment
161:         # Magic comment e.g. "# coding: utf-8" has to be in the first line.
162:         # So we copy the magic comment to the first line.
163:         preamble = magic_comment + "\n" + preamble
164:       end
165:       parts = [
166:         preamble,
167:         template,
168:         precompiled_postamble(locals)
169:       ]
170:       [parts.join("\n"), preamble.count("\n") + 1]
171:     end

Generates postamble code for the precompiled template source. The string returned from this method is appended to the precompiled template source.

[Source]

     # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 201
201:     def precompiled_postamble(locals)
202:       ''
203:     end

Generates preamble code for initializing template state, and performing locals assignment. The default implementation performs locals assignment only. Lines included in the preamble are subtracted from the source line offset, so adding code to the preamble does not effect line reporting in Kernel::caller and backtraces.

[Source]

     # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 188
188:     def precompiled_preamble(locals)
189:       locals.map do |k,v|
190:         if k.to_s =~ /\A[a-z_][a-zA-Z_0-9]*\z/
191:           "#{k} = locals[#{k.inspect}]"
192:         else
193:           raise "invalid locals key: #{k.inspect} (keys must be variable names)"
194:         end
195:       end.join("\n")
196:     end

A string containing the (Ruby) source code for the template. The default Template#evaluate implementation requires either this method or the precompiled method be overridden. When defined, the base Template guarantees correct file/line handling, locals support, custom scopes, and support for template compilation when the scope object allows it.

[Source]

     # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 179
179:     def precompiled_template(locals)
180:       raise NotImplementedError
181:     end

Do whatever preparation is necessary to setup the underlying template engine. Called immediately after template data is loaded. Instance variables set in this method are available when evaluate is called.

Subclasses must provide an implementation of this method.

[Source]

     # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 126
126:     def prepare
127:       if respond_to?(:compile!)
128:         # backward compat with tilt < 0.6; just in case
129:         warn 'Tilt::Template#compile! is deprecated; implement #prepare instead.'
130:         compile!
131:       else
132:         raise NotImplementedError
133:       end
134:     end

Like Kernel#require but issues a warning urging a manual require when running under a threaded environment.

[Source]

     # File lib/tilt/template.rb, line 113
113:     def require_template_library(name)
114:       if Thread.list.size > 1
115:         warn "WARN: tilt autoloading '#{name}' in a non thread-safe way; " +
116:              "explicit require '#{name}' suggested."
117:       end
118:       require name
119:     end
