quaint-coffeescript v0.1.0

quaint-coffeescript

Allows inline CoffeeScript code in Quaint markup.

Expressions in curly brackets will be evaluated in CoffeeScript.

Install

quaint --setup coffeescript

Usage

2 + 2 is {2 + 2}

API

var quaint = require("quaint");
var qcs = require("quaint-coffeescript");

var q = quaint(qcs);

q.toHTML("2 + 3 = {2 + 3}");
// ==> "2 + 3 = 5"

Functionality

In embedded CoffeeScript, you can use the h function to create HTML elements programmatically:

q.toHTML("{h 'a.cls#id', href: 'there', 'A', 'B'}");
// ==> '<a href="there" id="id" class="cls">AB</a>'

q.toHTML("{[(h "b", i * i) for i in [1, 2, 3]]}");
// ==> "<b>1</b><b>4</b><b>9</b>"

Options

sandbox

An object to use as the global object for eval. All the properties you set on that object will be available as top level variables in scripts.

vm

The module to use for the virtualization (defaults to the standard vm module, so you usally won't have to set it).

The module must implement these two methods:

• vm.createContext(sandbox): "contextify" the object, i.e. make it into a proper environment for the evaluator. If you implement your own, you return the sandbox itself, or a copy.

• vm.runInContext(code, sandbox): evaluate the code in the sandbox returned by createContext.
