mlaily / SimpleTemplateTypeProvider

An F# type provider for simple but strongly typed text templates.

Simple Template Type Provider

Inspired by WebSharper and Bolero templates, but way simpler.

Usage:

#r "SimpleTemplateTypeProvider.dll"

type MyTemplate = SimpleTemplateTypeProvider.Template<"""<div style="{{style}}">{{content}}</div>""">

let templated = MyTemplate("color: red", "message").Value // <div style="color: red">message</div>

The provider supports two static parameters:

• filePathOrString, a string that is either an inline template as above, or a template file path.
• source, a TemplateSource enum choice between Auto, Inline, or File allowing to explicitly specify how the filePathOrString parameter should be interpreted.
  • Auto: default value. If the string contains a < it is interpreted as a template. Otherwise, it is interpreted as a file path.
  • Inline: forces filePathOrString to be interpreted as an inline template.
  • File: forces filePathOrString to be interpreted as a template file path.

Example:

type MyTemplate = Template<"This is not Html: {{hole}}", source=TemplateSource.Inline>
type FileTemplate = Template<"shared/template.htm">
