- Wrap lexer -> parser -> codegen pipeline in ArenaAllocator
- All temporary allocations freed in one shot after HTML generation
- Applied to pug.compile() and template.renderWithData()
- Reduces allocator overhead and improves cache locality
- 22% faster than Pug.js (149.3ms vs 182.9ms on benchmark)
- All tests pass
- Add std.log.scoped(.pugz) to template.zig and view_engine.zig
- Log detailed error info (code, line, column, message) when parsing fails
- Log template path context in ViewEngine on parse errors
- Remove debug print from lexer, use proper scoped logging instead
- Move benchmarks, docs, examples, playground, tests out of src/ to project root
- Update build.zig and documentation paths accordingly
- Bump version to 0.3.1
- Add includes/some_partial.pug partial in demo views
- Add pages/include-demo.pug page using include directive
- Add /include-demo route in demo server
- Add link to include demo in about page
- Fix test_includes.zig path in build.zig
- Add test_views for include testing
- ViewEngine now supports extends and named blocks
- Each route gets exclusive cached AST (no shared parent layouts)
- Fix iteration over struct arrays in each loops
- Add demo app with full e-commerce layout using extends
- Serve static files from public folder
- Bump version to 0.3.0
- Added comprehensive module-level documentation explaining architecture
- Added doc comments to all public and key internal functions
- Improved inline comments focusing on 'why' not 'what'
- Updated CLAUDE.md with code comments rule
- Bump version to 0.2.0
- Create typed attributes struct for each mixin call with optional fields (class, id, style)
- Use unique variable names (mixin_attrs_N) to avoid shadowing in nested mixin calls
- Track current attributes variable for buildAccessor to resolve attributes.class correctly
- Only suppress unused variable warning when attributes aren't actually accessed
- HTML-escape double quotes as " in backtick template literals for valid attribute values
- Merge shorthand classes (.alert) with class attribute values instead of emitting duplicates
- Handle string concatenation expressions in class attributes (e.g., class="btn btn-" + type)
When a mixin calls another mixin passing a variable with the same name
as the parameter (e.g., +alert(message) where alert has param message),
skip generating redundant const declaration since the variable is already
in scope.
Also adds missing alert.pug mixin for demo project.
- Add scoped logger (pugz/runtime) for better log filtering
- Add warnings when mixin not found
- Add warnings for mixin attribute failures
- Add warnings for mixin directory/file lookup failures
- Add warnings for mixin parse/tokenize failures
- Use 'action first, then reason' pattern in all log messages
The loadMixinFromDir function used openDirAbsolute which requires an
absolute path, but ViewEngine passes a relative path for mixins_dir.
This caused a panic when a mixin call couldn't find the mixin in the
current template.
Fix: Check if mixins_dir is absolute and use the appropriate method:
- std.fs.openDirAbsolute() for absolute paths
- std.fs.cwd().openDir() for relative paths
Features:
- Fix string concatenation in attribute values (e.g., class="btn btn-" + type)
- Lexer now properly captures full expressions with operators
- Runtime evaluates expressions for class attributes
ViewEngine improvements:
- Change mixin loading from eager to lazy (on-demand)
- Mixins are now loaded from mixins directory only when first called
- Template-defined mixins take precedence over directory mixins
Benchmarks:
- Add src/benchmark.zig with three template complexity levels
- Simple: ~150k renders/sec, 6KB memory
- Medium: ~70k renders/sec, 45KB memory
- Complex: ~32k renders/sec, 94KB memory
- Memory leak detection confirms no leaks
Documentation:
- Update CLAUDE.md with lazy mixin loading details
- Document mixin resolution order
- Lexer now emits a single token for the entire expression (e.g., "btn btn-" + type)
- Runtime evaluateExpression now handles + operator for string concatenation
- Added findConcatOperator to safely find operators outside quotes/brackets
The lexer would hang when encountering operators like + in attribute values
(e.g., class="btn btn-" + type). Added scanAttrValuePart to handle
expression continuation with operators (+, -, *, /).
Also cleaned up debug prints from view_engine.zig and demo/main.zig.
