Description

A StringTemplate is a String with "holes" in it. This is a port of the Java StringTemplate library written by Terrence Parr. (http://www.stringtemplate.org).

This library implements the basic 3.1 grammar, lacking group files (though not groups themselves), Regions, and Interfaces. The goal is not to blindly copy the StringTemplate API, but rather to take its central ideas and implement them in a Haskellish manner. Indentation and wrapping, for example, are implemented through the HughesPJ Pretty Printing library. Calling toPPDoc on a StringTemplate yields a Doc with appropriate paragraph-fill wrapping that can be rendered in the usual fashion.

This library extends the current StringTemplate grammar by allowing the application of alternating attributes to anonymous as well as regular templates, including therefore sets of alternating attributes.

Basic instances are provided of the StringTemplateShows and ToSElem class. Any type deriving ToSElem can be passed automatically as a StringTemplate attribute. This package can be installed with syb-with-class bindings that provide a ToSElem instance for anything deriving Data.Generics.SYB.WithClass.Basics.Data. When defining an instance of ToSElem that can take a format parameter, you should first define an instance of StringTemplateShows, and then define an instance of ToSElem where toSElem = stShowsToSE.

Types
data StringTemplate a Source
A String with "holes" in it. StringTemplates may be composed of any Stringable type, which at the moment includes Strings, ByteStrings, PrettyPrinter Docs, and Endo Strings, which are actually of type ShowS. When a StringTemplate is composed of a type, its internals are as well, so it is, so to speak "turtles all the way down."
type STGroup a = String -> StFirst (StringTemplate a)Source
A function that generates StringTemplates. This is conceptually a query function into a "group" of StringTemplates.
Classes
class ToSElem a whereSource
The ToSElem class should be instantiated for all types that can be inserted as attributes into a StringTemplate.
Methods
toSElem :: Stringable b => a -> SElem bSource
toSElemList :: Stringable b => [a] -> SElem bSource
show/hide Instances
class Show a => StringTemplateShows a whereSource
The StringTemplateShows class should be instantiated for all types that are directly displayed in a StringTemplate, but take an optional format string. Each such type must have an appropriate ToSElem method defined as well.
Methods
stringTemplateShow :: a -> StringSource
stringTemplateFormattedShow :: String -> a -> StringSource
show/hide Instances
stShowsToSE :: (StringTemplateShows a, Stringable b) => a -> SElem bSource
This method should be used to create ToSElem instances for types defining a custom formatted show function.
class Monoid a => Stringable a whereSource
The Stringable class should be instantiated with care. Generally, the provided instances should be enough for anything.
Methods
stFromString :: String -> aSource
stToString :: a -> StringSource
mconcatMap :: [b] -> (b -> a) -> aSource
mintercalate :: a -> [a] -> aSource
mlabel :: a -> a -> aSource
show/hide Instances
Creation
newSTMP :: Stringable a => String -> StringTemplate aSource
Parses a String to produce a StringTemplate, with '$'s as delimiters. It is constructed with a stub group that cannot look up other templates.
newAngleSTMP :: Stringable a => String -> StringTemplate aSource
Parses a String to produce a StringTemplate, delimited by angle brackets. It is constructed with a stub group that cannot look up other templates.
getStringTemplate :: Stringable a => String -> STGroup a -> Maybe (StringTemplate a)Source
Queries an String Template Group and returns Just the appropriate StringTemplate if it exists, otherwise, Nothing.
Display
toString :: StringTemplate String -> StringSource
Renders a StringTemplate to a String.
toPPDoc :: StringTemplate Doc -> DocSource
Renders a StringTemplate to a Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ.Doc.
render :: Stringable a => StringTemplate a -> aSource
Generic render function for a StringTemplate of any type.
Modification
setAttribute :: (ToSElem a, Stringable b) => String -> a -> StringTemplate b -> StringTemplate bSource
Yields a StringTemplate with the appropriate attribute set. If the attribute already exists, it is appended to a list.
setManyAttrib :: (ToSElem a, Stringable b) => [(String, a)] -> StringTemplate b -> StringTemplate bSource
Yields a StringTemplate with the appropriate attributes set. If any attribute already exists, it is appended to a list.
withContext :: (ToSElem a, Stringable b) => StringTemplate b -> a -> StringTemplate bSource
Replaces the attributes of a StringTemplate with those described in the second argument. If the argument does not yield a set of named attributes but only a single one, that attribute is named, as a default, "it".
optInsertTmpl :: [(String, String)] -> StringTemplate a -> StringTemplate aSource
Adds a set of global options to a single template
optInsertGroup :: [(String, String)] -> STGroup a -> STGroup aSource
Adds a set of global options to a group
setEncoder :: Stringable a => (String -> String) -> StringTemplate a -> StringTemplate aSource
Sets an encoding function of a template that all values are rendered with. For example one useful encoder would be Text.Html.stringToHtmlString. All attributes will be encoded once and only once.
setEncoderGroup :: Stringable a => (String -> String) -> STGroup a -> STGroup aSource
Sets an encoding function of a group that all values are rendered with in each enclosed template
Groups
groupStringTemplates :: [(String, StringTemplate a)] -> STGroup aSource
Given a list of named of StringTemplates, returns a group which generates them such that they can call one another.
addSuperGroup :: STGroup a -> STGroup a -> STGroup aSource
Adds a supergroup to any StringTemplate group such that templates from the original group are now able to call ones from the supergroup as well.
addSubGroup :: STGroup a -> STGroup a -> STGroup aSource
Adds a "subgroup" to any StringTemplate group such that templates from the original group now have template calls "shadowed" by the subgroup.
mergeSTGroups :: STGroup a -> STGroup a -> STGroup aSource
Merges two groups into a single group. This function is left-biased, prefering bindings from the first group when there is a conflict.
directoryGroup :: Stringable a => FilePath -> IO (STGroup a)Source
Given a path, returns a group which generates all files in said directory which have the proper "st" extension. This function is strict, with all files read once. As it performs file IO, expect it to throw the usual exceptions.
unsafeVolatileDirectoryGroup :: Stringable a => String -> Int -> IO (STGroup a)Source
Given an integral amount of seconds and a path, returns a group generating all files in said directory with the proper "st" extension, cached for that amount of seconds. IO errors are "swallowed" by this so that exceptions don't arise in unexpected places. This violates referential transparency, but can be very useful in developing templates for any sort of server application. It should be swapped out for production purposes.
directoryGroupLazy :: Stringable a => FilePath -> IO (STGroup a)Source
Given a path, returns a group which generates all files in said directory which have the proper "st" extension. This function is lazy in the same way that readFile is lazy, with all files read on demand, but no more than once. As it performs file IO, expect it to throw the usual exceptions. And, as it is lazy, expect these exceptions in unexpected places.
