// Copyright 2021 The Go Authors. All rights reserved.

// license that can be found in the LICENSE file.

// Package tmplfunc provides an extension of Go templates
// in which templates can be invoked as if they were functions.
//
// For example, after parsing
//
//	{{define "link url text"}}<a href="{{.url}}">{{.text}}</a>{{end}}
//
// this package installs a function named link allowing the template
// to be invoked as
//
//	{{link "https://golang.org" "the Go language"}}
//
// instead of the longer-form (assuming an appropriate function named dict)
//
//	{{template "link" (dict "url" "https://golang.org" "text" "the Go language")}}
//
// Function Definitions
//
// The function installed for a given template depends on the name of the
// defined template, which can include not just a function name but also
// a list of parameter names. The function name and parameter names must
// consist only of letters, digits, and underscores, with a leading non-digit.
//
// If there is no parameter list, then the function is expected to take
// at most one argument, made available in the template body as “.” (dot).
// If such a function is called with no arguments, dot will be a nil interface value.
//
// If there is a parameter list, then the function requires an argument for
// each parameter, except for optional and variadic parameters, explained below.
// Inside the template, the top-level value “.” is a map[string]interface{} in which
// each parameter name is mapped to the corresponding argument value.
// A parameter x can therefore be accessed as {{(index . "x")}} or, more concisely, {{.x}}.
//
// The first special case in parameter handling is that
// a parameter can be made optional by adding a “?” suffix after its name.
// If the argument list ends before that parameter, the corresponding map entry
// will be present and set to a nil value.
// The second special case is that a parameter can be made variadic
// by adding a “...” suffix after its name.
// The corresponding map entry contains a []interface{} holding the
// zero or more arguments corresponding to that parameter.
//
// In the parameter list, required parameters must precede optional parameters,
// which must in turn precede any variadic parameter.
//
// For example, we can revise the link template given earlier to make the
// link text optional, substituting the URL when the text is omitted:
//
//	{{define "link url text?"}}<a href="{{.url}}">{{or .text .url}}</a>{{end}}
//
// 	The Go home page is {{link "https://golang.org"}}.
//
// Usage
//
// This package is meant to be used with templates from either the
// text/template or html/template packages. Given a *template.Template
// variable t, substitute:
//
//	t.Parse(text) -> tmplfunc.Parse(t, text)
//	t.ParseFiles(list) -> tmplfunc.ParseFiles(t, list)
//	t.ParseGlob(pattern) -> tmplfunc.ParseGlob(t, pattern)
//
// Parse, ParseFiles, and ParseGlob parse the new templates but also add
// functions that invoke them, named according to the function signatures.
// Templates can only invoke functions for templates that have already been
// defined or that are being defined in the same Parse, ParseFiles, or ParseGlob call.
// For example, templates in two files x.tmpl and y.tmpl can call each other
// only if ParseFiles or ParseGlob is used to parse both files in a single call.
// Otherwise, the parsing of the first file will report that calls to templates in
// the second file are calling unknown functions.
//
// When used with the html/template package, all function-invoked template
// calls are treated as invoking templates producing HTML. In order to use a
// template that produces some other kind of text fragment, the template must
// be invoked directly using the {{template "name"}} form, not as a function call.
