[ANN] Mustache templates
I like to announce my smalltalk port of mustache templates. Mustache is a popular templating engine that is supported in many programming languages. I know at least that is quite common to be used in javascript but see at the languages it supported yourself [1]. A basic usage is something like (just paste it to workspace after loading Mustache): --- templateString := 'Hello {{name}}, this is {{templatingEngine}} for {{recipient}}. {{# cheerUp }} Have fun! {{/ cheerUp }}'. context := { 'name' -> 'pharo community'. 'templatingEngine' -> 'mustache'. 'recipient' -> 'you'. 'cheerUp' -> true } asDictionary. templateString asMustacheTemplate value: context --- Context objects can be Dictionaries or regular objects. It is also easy to feed via json e.g. using NeoJSON templateString asMustacheTemplate value: (NeoJSONReader fromString: â¦) I wrote a blog article about it and the usage in smaltlalk on my blog [2]. The code I have just released on smalltalkhub [3]. Documentation about the syntax to use is available under [4]. To load it do Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'NorbertHartl' project: 'Mustache'; configurationOf: 'Mustache'; loadStable. The code is not very old so there might be bugs (this is supposed to be the standard disclaimer). If you find something not working as expected just drop me a note. The engine produces at the moment more whitespaces than you can see in the examples. I need to figure out the rule first and will release a new version. Nevertheless I consider it useful by now. But you decide and hopefully give me feedback.

Excellent! Mustache is broadly used in the JS world (both web and node). I wonder what do you use it for. I'd love an extension to the syntax to deal with JSON like structures (it is scalars, arrays and dictionaries). :) Esteban A. Maringolo 2013/10/3 Norbert Hartl <norbert@hartl.name>:

At the moment mostly for generating SOAP requests :) But I often have template-like stuff for what I'm hacking something stupid together. I thought it should come to an end.

What have those to do with the syntax? Can you elaborate on that? Norbert

So basically you have a Mustache based XML template to consume/produce SOAP requests. Good idea :) Regarding the JS syntax, Several times I found myself writing a lot of dictionary like expressions that got converted into Dictionaries and then to JSON strings, so I daydreamed about having something as close to JSON syntax as possible (it is, JS syntax) embedded in the smalltalk code. The analogous to the {exp1. exp2} syntax, but to create "hash maps" (it is, Dictionaries) right from the syntax. Regards! Esteban A. Maringolo 2013/10/3 Norbert Hartl <norbert@hartl.name>:
