[Feature Request] ignoring new line and tab indents in special tags
muthukrishnan24 opened this issue · comments
I am using QTPL for go code generation.
i see that it is intended for html template. But it can be very useful for all kind of text generation.
issue #27 does not cover my case
below is a sample template func to explain my use case
{% func GenTestFunc() %}
func TestFunc(a int, b int) int {
var sum int
{% for i := 0; i < 10; i++ %}
sum += {%d i %}
{% endfor %}
return sum
}
{% endfunc %}
I'm getting:
func TestFunc(a int, b int) int {
var sum int
sum += 0
sum += 1
sum += 2
sum += 3
sum += 4
sum += 5
sum += 6
sum += 7
sum += 8
sum += 9
return sum
}
expect something like this:
func TestFunc(a int, b int) int {
var sum int
sum += 0
sum += 1
sum += 2
sum += 3
sum += 4
sum += 5
sum += 6
sum += 7
sum += 8
sum += 9
return sum
}
i tried {% stripspace %} and {% collapsespace %} but they are not sufficient
{% func %},{% for %},{% if %}and other tags, take string between as it is, to improve readability, these blocks can ignore first tab/space indent, or special tag to ignore them- also each the block, create a new line before them
i had to write this to get the intended output
{% func GenTestFunc() %}
func TestFunc(a int, b int) int {
var sum int{% for i := 0; i < 10; i++ %}
sum += {%d i %}{% endfor %}
return sum
}
{% endfunc %}
My Proposal for this issue
Pull request is this.
Tag opening mark "{%-" strip tail blanks form previous text.
Tag ending mark "-%}" strip blanks to new line from next text.
Below code
{% func GenTestFunc() %}
func TestFunc(a int, b int) int {
var sum int
{%- for i := 0; i < 10; i++ -%}
sum += {%d i %}
{%- endfor %}
return sum
}
{% endfunc %}
outputs
func TestFunc(a int, b int) int {
var sum int
sum += 0
sum += 1
sum += 2
sum += 3
sum += 4
sum += 5
sum += 6
sum += 7
sum += 8
sum += 9
return sum
}
