🐟 Example

Dependencies:

[dependencies]
sailfish = "0.10.1"

You can choose to use TemplateSimple to access fields directly:

Template file (templates/hello.stpl):

<html>
  <body>
    <% for msg in messages { %>
      <div><%= msg %></div>
    <% } %>
  </body>
</html>

Code:

use sailfish::TemplateSimple;

#[derive(TemplateSimple)]
#[template(path = "hello.stpl")]
struct HelloTemplate {
    messages: Vec<String>
}

fn main() {
    let ctx = HelloTemplate {
        messages: vec![String::from("foo"), String::from("bar")],
    };
    println!("{}", ctx.render_once().unwrap());
}

Or use the more powerful Template/TemplateMut/TemplateOnce:

Template file (templates/hello.stpl):

<html>
  <body>
    <% for msg in &self.messages { %>
      <div><%= msg %></div>
    <% } %>
    <div><%= self.say_hello() %></div>
  </body>
</html>

Code:

use sailfish::Template;

#[derive(Template)]
#[template(path = "hello.stpl")]
struct HelloTemplate {
    messages: Vec<String>
}

impl HelloTemplate {
    fn say_hello(&self) -> String {
        String::from("Hello!")
    }
}

fn main() {
    let ctx = HelloTemplate {
        messages: vec![String::from("foo"), String::from("bar")],
    };
    println!("{}", ctx.render().unwrap());
}

You can find more examples in examples directory.
