askama 0.6.2

Type-safe, compiled Jinja-like templates for Rust
Documentation
//! Askama implements a type-safe compiler for Jinja-like templates.
//! It lets you write templates in a Jinja-like syntax,
//! which are linked to a `struct` defining the template context.
//! This is done using a custom derive implementation (implemented
//! in [`askama_derive`](https://crates.io/crates/askama_derive)).
//!
//! For feature highlights and a quick start, please review the
//! [README](https://github.com/djc/askama/blob/master/README.md).
//!
//! # Creating Askama templates
//!
//! An Askama template is a `struct` definition which provides the template
//! context combined with a UTF-8 encoded text file (or inline source, see
//! below). Askama can be used to generate any kind of text-based format.
//! The template file's extension may can be used to provide content type hints.
//!
//! A template consists of **text contents**, which are passed through as-is,
//! **expressions**, which get replaced with content while being rendered, and
//! **tags**, which control the template's logic.
//! The template syntax is very similar to [Jinja](http://jinja.pocoo.org/),
//! as well as Jinja-derivatives like [Twig](http://twig.sensiolabs.org/) or
//! [Tera](https://github.com/Keats/tera).
//!
//! ## The `template()` attribute
//!
//! Askama works by generating one or more trait implementations for any
//! `struct` type decorated with the `#[derive(Template)]` attribute. The
//! code generation process takes some options that can be specified through
//! the `template()` attribute. The following sub-attributes are currently
//! recognized:
//!
//! * `path` (as `path = "foo.html"`): sets the path to the template file. The
//!   path is interpreted as relative to the `templates` dir in the directory
//!   where the originating crate's `Cargo.toml` resides. The file name
//!   extension is used to infer an escape mode (see below). In web framework
//!   integrations, the path's extension may also be used to infer the content
//!   type of the resulting response. Cannot be used together with `source`.
//! * `source` (as `source = "{{ foo }}"`): directly sets the template source.
//!   This can be useful for test cases or short templates. The generated path
//!   is empty, which generally makes it impossible to refer to this template
//!   from other templates. Cannot be used together with `path`.
//! * `ext` (as `ext = "txt"`): lets you specify the content type as a file
//!   extension. This is used to infer an escape mode (see below), and some
//!   web framework integrations use it to determine the content type.
//!   Cannot be used together with `path`.
//! * `print` (as `print = "code"`): enable debugging by printing nothing
//!   (`none`), the parsed syntax tree (`ast`), the generated code (`code`)
//!   or `all` for both. The requested data will be printed to stdout at
//!   compile time.
//! * `escape` (as `escape = "none"`): set the escape mode for expression
//!   output; the currently implemented modes are `none` and `html`. Askama
//!   infers the escape mode from the template file name (with `path`) or
//!   specified extension (`ext`): if the extension is `html`, `htm` or `xml`,
//!   the `html` escape mode is used; otherwise, no implicit escaping is done.
//!   Setting an escape mode explicitly overrides the inferred value.
//!
//!
//! ## Variables
//!
//! Top-level template variables are defined by the template's context type.
//! You can use a dot (`.`) to access variable's attributes or methods.
//! Reading from variables is subject to the usual borrowing policies.
//! For example, `{{ name }}` will get the ``name`` field from the template
//! context,
//! while `{{ user.name }}` will get the ``name`` field of the ``user``
//! field from the template context.
//!
//! ## Filters
//!
//! Values such as those obtained from variables can be post-processed
//! using **filters**.
//! Filters are applied to values using the pipe symbol (`|`) and may
//! have optional extra arguments in parentheses.
//! Filters can be chained, in which case the output from one filter
//! is passed to the next.
//!
//! For example, `{{ "{:?}"|format(name|escape) }}` will escape HTML
//! characters from the value obtained by accessing the `name` field,
//! and print the resulting string as a Rust literal.
//!
//! Consult the [filters module documentation](filters/index.html) for a list
//! of available filters.
//!
//! ## Whitespace control
//!
//! Askama preserves all whitespace in template code by default,
//! except that a single trailing newline characters are suppressed.
//! However, whitespace before and after expression and block delimiters
//! can be suppressed by writing a minus sign directly following a
//! start delimiter or leading into an end delimiter.
//! Askama considers all tabs, spaces, newlines and carriage returns to be
//! whitespace.
//!
//! ## Template inheritance
//!
//! Template inheritance allows you to build a base template with common
//! elements that can then be shared by all inheriting templates.
//! A base template defines **blocks** that child templates can then override.
//!
//! ### Base template
//!
//! ```text
//! <!DOCTYPE html>
//! <html lang="en">
//!   <head>
//!     <title>{{ block title %}{{ title }}{% endblock %} - My Site</title>
//!     {% block head %}{% endblock %}
//!   </head>
//!   <body>
//!     <div id="content">
//!       {% block content %}{% endblock %}
//!     </div>
//!   </body>
//! </html>
//! ```
//!
//! The `block` tags define three blocks that can be filled in by child
//! templates. The base template defines a default version of the block.
//! A base template must define one or more blocks in order to be enable
//! inheritance. Blocks can only be specified at the top level of a template,
//! not inside `if`/`else` branches or in `for`-loop bodies.
//!
//! ### Child template
//!
//! Here's an example child template:
//!
//! ```text
//! {% extends "base.html" %}
//!
//! {% block title %}Index{% endblock %}
//!
//! {% block head %}
//!   <style>
//!   </style>
//! {% endblock %}
//!
//! {% block content %}
//!   <h1>Index</h1>
//!   <p>Hello, world!</p>
//! {% endblock %}
//! ```
//!
//! The `extends` tag tells the code generator that this template inherits
//! from another template. It will search for the base template relative to
//! itself before looking relative to the template base directory. It will
//! render the top-level content from the base template, and substitute
//! blocks from the base template with those from the child template. The
//! inheriting template context `struct` must have a field called `_parent` of
//! the type used as the base template context. Blocks can refer to the context
//! of both parent and child template.
//!
//! Note that, if the base template lives in another module than the child
//! template, the child template's module should import all symbols from the
//! base template's module in order for it to find the trait definition that
//! supports the inheritance mechanism.
//!
//! ## HTML escaping
//!
//! Askama by default escapes variables if it thinks it is rendering HTML
//! content. It infers the escaping context from the extension of template
//! filenames, escaping by default if the extension is one of `html`, `htm`,
//! or `xml`. When specifying a template as `source` in an attribute, the
//! `ext` attribute parameter must be used to specify a type. Additionally,
//! you can specify an escape mode explicitly for your template by setting
//! the `escape` attribute parameter value (to `none` or `html`).
//!
//! Askama escapes `<`, `>`, `&`, `"`, `'`, `\` and `/`, according to the
//! [OWASP escaping recommendations][owasp]. Use the `safe` filter to
//! prevent escaping for a single expression, or the `escape` (or `e`)
//! filter to escape a single expression in an unescaped context.
//!
//! [owasp]: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XSS_(Cross_Site_Scripting)_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet#RULE_.231_-_HTML_Escape_Before_Inserting_Untrusted_Data_into_HTML_Element_Content
//!
//! ## Control structures
//!
//! ### For
//!
//! Loop over each item in an iterator. For example:
//!
//! ```text
//! <h1>Users</h1>
//! <ul>
//! {% for user in users %}
//!   <li>{{ user.name|e }}</li>
//! {% endfor %}
//! </ul>
//! ```
//!
//! Inside for-loop blocks, some useful variables are accessible:
//!
//! * *loop.index*: current loop iteration (starting from 1)
//! * *loop.index0*: current loop iteration (starting from 0)
//!
//! ### If
//!
//! The *if* statement is used as you might expect:
//!
//! ```text
//! {% if users.len() == 0 %}
//!   No users
//! {% else if users.len() == 1 %}
//!   1 user
//! {% else %}
//!   {{ users.len() }} users
//! {% endif %}
//! ```
//!
//! ### Match
//!
//! In order to deal with Rust `enum`s in a type-safe way, templates support
//! match blocks from version 0.6. Here is a simple example showing how to
//! expand an `Option`:
//!
//! ```text
//! {% match item %}
//!   {% when Some with ("foo") %}
//!     Found literal foo
//!   {% when Some with (val) %}
//!     Found {{ val }}
//!   {% when None %}
//! {% endmatch %}
//! ```
//!
//! That is, a `match` block can optionally contain some whitespace (but
//! no other literal content), followed by a number of `when` blocks and
//! and an optional `else` block. Each `when` block must name a list of
//! matches (`(val)`), optionally introduced with a variant name. The
//! `else` block is equivalent to matching on `_` (matching anything).
//!
//! ### Include
//!
//! The *include* statement lets you split large or repetitive blocks into
//! separate template files. Included templates get full access to the context
//! in which they're used, including local variables like those from loops:
//!
//! ```text
//! {% for i in iter %}
//!   {% include "item.html" %}
//! {% endfor %}
//! ```
//!
//! ```text
//! * Item: {{ i }}
//! ```
//!
//! The path to include must be a string literal, so that it is known at
//! compile time. Askama will try to find the specified template relative
//! to the including template's path before falling back to the absolute
//! template path. Use `include` within the branches of an `if`/`else`
//! block to use includes more dynamically.
//!
//! ## Expressions
//!
//! Askama supports string literals (`"foo"`) and integer literals (`1`).
//! It supports almost all binary operators that Rust supports,
//! including arithmetic, comparison and logic operators.
//! The parser applies the same precedence order as the Rust compiler.
//! Expressions can be grouped using parentheses.
//! The HTML special characters `&`, `<` and `>` will be replaced with their
//! character entities unless the `escape` mode is disabled for a template.
//!
//! ## Comments
//!
//! Askama supports block comments delimited by `{#` and `#}`.
//!
//! # Optional functionality
//!
//! ## Rocket integration
//!
//! Enabling the `with-rocket` feature appends an implementation of Rocket's
//! `Responder` trait for each template type. This makes it easy to trivially
//! return a value of that type in a Rocket handler. See
//! [the example](https://github.com/djc/askama/blob/master/testing/tests/rocket.rs)
//! from the Askama test suite for more on how to integrate.
//!
//! In case a run-time error occurs during templating, a `500 Internal Server
//! Error` `Status` value will be returned, so that this can be further
//! handled by your error catcher.
//!
//! ## Iron integration
//!
//! Enabling the `with-iron` feature appends an implementation of Iron's
//! `Modifier<Response>` trait for each template type. This makes it easy to
//! trivially return a value of that type in an Iron handler. See
//! [the example](https://github.com/djc/askama/blob/master/testing/tests/iron.rs)
//! from the Askama test suite for more on how to integrate.
//!
//! Note that Askama's generated `Modifier<Response>` implementation currently
//! unwraps any run-time errors from the template. If you have a better
//! suggestion, please [file an issue](https://github.com/djc/askama/issues/new).
//!
//! ## The `json` filter
//!
//! Enabling the `serde-json` filter will enable the use of the `json` filter.
//! This will output formatted JSON for any value that implements the required
//! `Serialize` trait.
