Platem
Platem is a templating engine made for Elixir.
Installation
If available in Hex, the package can be installed
by adding platem
to your list of dependencies in mix.exs
:
def deps do
[
{:platem, "~> 0.1.0"}
]
end
After you have added platem to your mix file, and you have installed it, you have to paste the following code snippet into your supervision tree:
{DynamicSupervisor, name: Platem, strategy: :one_for_one}
After you have done that you are good to go.
Usage
To use platem, you have to define a template first. You can do it in the following way:
template = %Platem.Template{
template: "some {{type}}",
fields: [
%Platem.Field{name: "type", default: "markdown"}
]
clause: {"{{", "}}"}
}
After we have done that we can define the values. If a value is left blank, the engine will use the default value.
values = [
%Platem.Value{name: "type", value: "html"}
]
Finally we can call the populate function.
Platem.populate(template, values)
Which will give us the following:
%Platem.Template{
template: "some html",
fields: [
%Platem.Field{name: "type", default: "markdown"}
]
clause: {"{{", "}}"}
}
