//! ViewEngine - High-level template engine for web servers.
|
|
|
|
|
//!
|
|
|
|
|
//! Provides a simple API for rendering Pug templates with:
|
|
|
|
|
//! - Views directory configuration
|
2026-01-17 20:01:37 +05:30
|
|
|
//! - Lazy-loading mixins from a mixins subdirectory (on-demand)
|
2026-01-17 18:50:16 +05:30
|
|
|
//! - Relative path resolution for includes and extends
|
2026-01-22 11:10:47 +05:30
|
|
|
//! - **Compiled templates** for maximum performance (parse once, render many)
|
2026-01-17 18:50:16 +05:30
|
|
|
//!
|
2026-01-17 20:01:37 +05:30
|
|
|
//! Mixins are resolved in the following order:
|
|
|
|
|
//! 1. Mixins defined in the same template file
|
|
|
|
|
//! 2. Mixins from the mixins directory (lazy-loaded when first called)
|
|
|
|
|
//!
|
2026-01-22 11:10:47 +05:30
|
|
|
//! ## Basic Usage
|
2026-01-17 18:50:16 +05:30
|
|
|
//! ```zig
|
2026-01-17 23:59:22 +05:30
|
|
|
//! const engine = ViewEngine.init(.{
|
2026-01-17 18:50:16 +05:30
|
|
|
//! .views_dir = "src/views",
|
|
|
|
|
//! });
|
|
|
|
|
//!
|
2026-01-17 23:59:22 +05:30
|
|
|
//! // Render from file
|
|
|
|
|
//! const html = try engine.render(allocator, "pages/home", .{ .title = "Home" });
|
|
|
|
|
//! defer allocator.free(html);
|
|
|
|
|
//!
|
|
|
|
|
//! // Render from template string (for embedded or cached templates)
|
|
|
|
|
//! const tpl = "h1 #{title}";
|
|
|
|
|
//! const out = try engine.renderTpl(allocator, tpl, .{ .title = "Hello" });
|
|
|
|
|
//! defer allocator.free(out);
|
2026-01-17 18:50:16 +05:30
|
|
|
//! ```
|
2026-01-22 11:10:47 +05:30
|
|
|
//!
|
|
|
|
|
//! ## Compiled Templates (High Performance)
|
|
|
|
|
//! For maximum performance, compile templates once and render many times:
|
|
|
|
|
//! ```zig
|
|
|
|
|
//! // At startup: compile template (keeps AST in memory)
|
|
|
|
|
//! var compiled = try CompiledTemplate.init(gpa, "h1 Hello, #{name}!");
|
|
|
|
|
//! defer compiled.deinit();
|
|
|
|
|
//!
|
|
|
|
|
//! // Per request: render with arena (fast, zero parsing overhead)
|
|
|
|
|
//! var arena = std.heap.ArenaAllocator.init(gpa);
|
|
|
|
|
//! defer arena.deinit();
|
|
|
|
|
//! const html = try compiled.render(arena.allocator(), .{ .name = "World" });
|
|
|
|
|
//! ```
