script-template v1.0.3

script-template

Simple template engine specifically designed to generate JavaScript, TypeScript, or CoffeeScript where the templates themselves are also valid JS/TS/CS files.

Features

• Replace placeholders with values from supplied data
• Simple single-line loop for arrays
• Block-loop for repeated blocks
• Ignore lines that are in the template but should be excluded from output

Example

The following TypeScript template is used to generate classes for database tables. It is also valid TypeScript.

/* __each__ idFields */ enum __fieldName__ { none }

/*__ignore__*/ interface __translatedFieldType__ {}

/*__startEach__ tables */
interface __tableName__
{
    /*__each__ fields */ __fieldName__:__translatedFieldType__;
}
/*__endEach__*/

Note the comments are optional if you don't care about the template itself being optional. The following works as well:

__each__ idFields enum __fieldName__ { none }

__ignore__ interface __translatedFieldType__ {}

__startEach__ tables
interface __tableName__
{
    __each__ fields __fieldName__:__translatedFieldType__;
}
__endEach__
