SilverStripe template parser

Provide a several template tags for better template implementation. For example an improved <% include %>.

Requirements

Usage

Spaceless

Remove extra whitespaces from around the template syntax & HTML output.

<% spaceless %>
    ... Template syntax and HTML ...
<% end_spaceless %>

Template

An alternative to <% include %>

<% template TemplateName %>
    <% set Theme %>$ClassName<% end_set %>
    <% set Someone %>
        Github user: {$ClassName}-{$ID}-{$MenuTitle.XML}
    <% end_set %>

    <h1>Hello world</h1>

<% end_template %>

Ways to define template name

• By string

<% template TemplateName %><% end_template %>

<% template 'Namespace\TemplateName' %><% end_template %>

• By variable or method within an object

<% template $TemplateName %><% end_template %>

<% template $Object.Method %><% end_template %>

The body of the template tag

• The body of the tag can include HTML, template logic, & defined arguments.

<% template TemplateName %>
    <h1>Hello world</h1>
<% end_template %>

• The body of the block can include other syntax such as <% include %>

<% template TemplateName %>
    <h1>Hello world</h1>
    <% include Icon %>
<% end_template %>

• You can pass parameters, one per line! not all in same line as '<% include %>

<% template TemplateName %>
    <% set Theme %>$Theme<% end_set %>
    <% set Someone %>
        Github user: {$Member.Name}
    <% end_set %>

    <h1>Hello world</h1>
<% end_template %>

TemplateName.ss <% content %> Placeholder for the content of the template ie. <h1>Hello world</h1>

<div class="theme--{$Theme}">
   <% content %> 
   <p>Are you a {$Someone}</p> 
</div>
