jade-nim

Compiles jade templates to Nimrod functions.

Installation

Clone the repository and put it in your nimrod path (-p:path/to/jade-nim), or use babel to install it.

In your terminal, install the node dependencies:

$ npm install .

Put path/to/jade-nim/bin/ in your PATH variable so that you can launch jade-nim.js from anywhere.

Usage

$ jade-nim.js mytemplate.jade Tmynimrodtype < mytemplate.jade > mytemplate.nim

Tmynimrodtype is a tuple that you have to define in a file named jadeface.nim (which should be accessible in your nimrod path for the compiler to find it). It will be your "interface" between the code you will write and the template renderer.

Example

# jadeface.nim
type
    TList* = tuple
        choice_pills: seq[string]
        is_the_one: bool

# main.nim
import jadeface, list

var list_vars: TList = (choice_pills: @["red", "blue", "silver"],
                        is_the_one: true)
echo list.render(list_vars)

// list.jade
if is_the_one
  p Choose wisely, neo.
else
  p Want some candy?

ul
  for pill in choice_pills
    li #{pill}

See the example Makefile for how to compile.

The Jade template is converted in a purely Nimrod procedure (see example here).

Supported features

Most of Jade features work out-of-the-box, except the following ones:

• &attributes
• mixins with dynamic names
