Hastache
Haskell implementation of Mustache templates
Installation
cabal update
cabal install hastache
Usage
Read Mustache documentation for template syntax.
See Hastache hackage page.
Examples
Variables
import Text.Hastache
import Text.Hastache.Context
import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy.Char8 as LZ
main = hastacheStr defaultConfig (encodeStr template) (mkStrContext context)
>>= LZ.putStrLn
template = "Hello, {{name}}!\n\nYou have {{unread}} unread messages."
context "name" = MuVariable "Haskell"
context "unread" = MuVariable (100 :: Int)
Hello, Haskell!
You have 100 unread messages.
With Generics
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveDataTypeable #-}
import Text.Hastache
import Text.Hastache.Context
import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as LZ
import Data.Data
import Data.Generics
main = hastacheStr defaultConfig (encodeStr template) context
>>= LZ.putStrLn
data Info = Info {
name :: String,
unread :: Int
} deriving (Data, Typeable)
template = "Hello, {{name}}!\n\nYou have {{unread}} unread messages."
context = mkGenericContext $ Info "Haskell" 100
Lists
template = concat [
"{{#heroes}}\n",
"* {{name}} \n",
"{{/heroes}}\n"]
context "heroes" = MuList $ map (mkStrContext . mkListContext)
["Nameless","Long Sky","Flying Snow","Broken Sword","Qin Shi Huang"]
where
mkListContext name = \"name" -> MuVariable name
* Nameless
* Long Sky
* Flying Snow
* Broken Sword
* Qin Shi Huang
With Generics
data Hero = Hero { name :: String } deriving (Data, Typeable)
data Heroes = Heroes { heroes :: [Hero] } deriving (Data, Typeable)
template = concat [
"{{#heroes}}\n",
"* {{name}} \n",
"{{/heroes}}\n"]
context = mkGenericContext $ Heroes $ map Hero ["Nameless","Long Sky",
"Flying Snow","Broken Sword","Qin Shi Huang"]
Another Generics version
data Heroes = Heroes { heroes :: [String] } deriving (Data, Typeable)
template = concat [
"{{#heroes}}\n",
"* {{.}} \n",
"{{/heroes}}\n"]
context = mkGenericContext $ Heroes ["Nameless","Long Sky","Flying Snow",
"Broken Sword","Qin Shi Huang"]
List item by index
main = mapM_ (\(template,context) ->
hastacheStr defaultConfig (encodeStr template) context >>= LZ.putStrLn)
[(template1, mkStrContext context1),
(template1, context2),
(template3, context3)]
names = ["Nameless","Long Sky","Flying Snow","Broken Sword","Qin Shi Huang"]
template1 = concat [
"{{heroes.1.name}}\n",
"{{heroes.0.name}}\n"]
-- Context as function
context1 "heroes" = MuList $ map (mkStrContext . mkListContext) names
where
mkListContext name = \"name" -> MuVariable name
context1 _ = MuNothing
-- With Generics
data Hero = Hero { name :: String } deriving (Data, Typeable)
data Heroes = Heroes { heroes :: [Hero] } deriving (Data, Typeable)
context2 = mkGenericContext $ Heroes $ map Hero names
-- With Generics (another way)
template3 = concat [
"{{heroName.3}}\n",
"{{heroName.2}}\n"]
data HeroesStr = HeroesStr { heroName :: [String] } deriving (Data, Typeable)
context3 = mkGenericContext $ HeroesStr names
Long Sky
Nameless
Long Sky
Nameless
Broken Sword
Flying Snow
Conditional evaluation
Boolean
template = "{{#boolean}}true{{/boolean}}{{^boolean}}false{{/boolean}}"
context "boolean" = MuBool False
false
List
template = "{{^messages}}No new messages{{/messages}}"
context "messages" = MuList []
No new messages
Number
main = mapM_ (\ctx ->
hastacheStr defaultConfig (encodeStr template) (mkStrContext ctx)
>>= LZ.putStrLn) [context1,context2]
template = "{{#msg}}{{msg}}{{/msg}}{{^msg}}No{{/msg}} new messages."
context1 "msg" = MuVariable (100 :: Int)
context2 "msg" = MuVariable (0 :: Int)
100 new messages.
No new messages.
Functions
template = "Hello, {{#reverse}}world{{/reverse}}!"
context "reverse" = MuLambda (reverse . decodeStr)
Hello, dlrow!
Monadic functions
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleContexts #-}

import Control.Monad.State

Generics big example
data Book = Book {
title :: String,

} deriving (Data, Typeable)

born :: Integer,
died :: Integer
} deriving (Data, Typeable)

name :: String,
life :: Life,
books :: [Book]
} deriving (Data, Typeable)
template = concat [
