This package is to generate data-driven HTML output.
# Directives
Each directive begins with an `@` sign.
Some directives begin contains a `{}` block, others only have `''` (string) parameters. More on the directives itself.
Newlines on the beginning and end are ignored in `{}` blocks, otherwise this (see [if](##if) for this syntax):
```html
@if bool_val {
<span>This is shown if bool_val is true</span>
}
```
would result in:
```html
<span>This is shown if bool_val is true</span>
```
which could result in unreadable output.
## if
The if directive consists of three parts, the `@if` tag, the condition (same syntax like in V) and the `{}` block where you can write html which will be rendered if the condition is true:
```
@if <condition> {}
```
### Example
```html
@if bool_val {
<span>This is shown if bool_val is true</span>
}
```
One-liner:
```html
@if bool_val { <span>This is shown if bool_val is true</span> }
```
The first example would result in:
```html
<span>This is shown if bool_val is true</span>
```
while the one-liner results in:
```html
<span>This is shown if bool_val is true</span>
```
## for
The for directive consists of three parts, the `@for` tag, the condition (same syntax like in V) and the `{}` block where you can write html which will be rendered for each loop:
```
@for <condition> {}
```
### Example
```html
@for i, val in my_vals {
<span>$i - $val</span>
}
```
One-liner:
```html
@for i, val in my_vals { <span>$i - $val</span> }
```
The first example would result in:
```html
<span>0 - "First"</span>
<span>1 - "Second"</span>
<span>2 - "Third"</span>
...
```
while the one-liner results in:
```html
<span>0 - "First"</span>
<span>1 - "Second"</span>
<span>2 - "Third"</span>
...
```
You can also write (and all other for condition syntaxes that are allowed in V):
```html
@for i = 0; i < 5; i++ {
<span>$i</span>
}
```
## include
The include directive is for including other html files (which will be processed as well) and consists of two parts, the `@include` tag and a following `'<path>'` string.
The path parameter is relative to the `/templates` directory in the corresponding project.
### Example
Files
```
Project root
/templates
- index.html
/headers
- base.html
```
`index.html`
```html
<div>@include 'header/base'</div>
```
> Note that there shouldn't be a file suffix, it is automatically appended and only allows `html` files.
