dependencies:
slang:
github: jeromegn/slang
Usage
Preferred: use Kilt
Kilt is included as a dependency for this project. It should help integrating non-ECR template engines.
require "kilt/slang"
Kilt.render("path/to/file.slang") #=> <compiled template>
Example with Kemal (includes Kilt):
require "kilt/slang"
get "/" do
render "path/to/file.slang"
end
Without Kilt
String.build do |str|
Slang.embed("path/to/file.slang", "str")
end
