Counterfeiter
A templating engine for programmers, aimed at finding just the right balance of power: Versatile and full of features to help while avoiding injections, excessive code-in-templates and boilerplate.
This is an example template:
namespace Main
def main title statement
html
head
title | {title}
- js "/js/js.js"
body
#main | {statement}
def js src
script (type="text/javascript" src={file})
namespace Site
def frontpage title
- Main.main
title: {title}
statement:
#statement
h1 | Welcome to Counterfeiter
.text
Enjoy yourself
The code can be called from Scala or Java, like:
Template.render("Site.frontpage", "Counterfeiter title")and will result in html much like:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Counterfeiter title</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/js.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
<h1>Welcome to counterfeiter</h1>
<div class="text">
Enjoy yourself
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>All strings from outside (or inside) are html-escaped once. If they should not be escaped,
their insertion must be preceded by an e like {e title}.
