🌪️ drunk snail

Pure nim implementation of template language originally presented in drunk snail

Uses standard library modules only

Why this language?

• Easy syntax
• Separates logic and data

Why better then Python / C implementations?

• Compiled and statically typed yet memory safe
• Small codebase
• Allow for parser configuration

Example

Row:

<tr>
  <td><!-- (param)cell --></td>
</tr>

Table:

<table>
  <!-- (ref)Row -->
</table>

Arguments:

{
  "Row": [
    {
      "cell": ["1", "2"]
    },
    {
      "cell": ["3", "4"]
    }
  ]
}

Result:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>2</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>3</td>
    <td>4</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Installation

Download and import drunk_snail.nim into your project

Usage

import std/json
import std/tables
import std/unittest

import drunk_snail

check """<table>
    <!-- (ref)Row -->
</table>""".new_template.rendered(
    %*{"Row": [{"cell": ["1.1", "2.1"]}, {"cell": ["1.2", "2.2"]}]},
    {
      "Row": """<tr>
    <td><!-- (param)cell --></td>
</tr>""".new_template
    }.to_table,
) == """<table>
    <tr>
        <td>1.1</td>
        <td>2.1</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>1.2</td>
        <td>2.2</td>
    </tr>
</table>"""
