Kilt

Generic templating interface for Crystal.

Goal

Simplify developers' lives by abstracting template rendering for multiple template languages.

Supported

| Language | File extensions | Required libraries | | -------- | --------------- | ------------------ | | ECR | .ecr | none (part of the stdlib) | | Slang | .slang | slang |

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  kilt:
    github: jeromegn/kilt
  
  # Any other template languages Crystal shard

Usage

• Kilt essentially adds two macros Kilt.embed and Kilt.file, the code is really simple.
• Add template language dependencies, as listed in the support table above.

Both macros take a filename and a io_name (the latter defaults to "__kilt_io__")

Example

require "kilt"
require "slang" # if you want to use Slang templates, for instance

# With a Class

class YourView
  Kilt.file("path/to/template.ecr") # Adds a to_s method
end
puts YourView.new.to_s # => <compiled template>


# Embedded

str = String.build do |__kilt_io__|
  Kilt.embed "path/to/template.slang"
end

puts str # => <compiled template>
