Armadillo

A small library for Django-like template inheritance adapted for ERB.

Usage

To render an Armadillo template you need to call the Armadillo.render method.

This method accepts any of the following options:

  • :scope - Any object you want to bound to the template scope.
  • :base_path - The path of the directory for which the templates are going to be searched on.

Note: A .erb extension is assumed for every file and should not be part of the filename given as the template filename.

Armadillo.render("myview.html", { :items => [1, 2, 3] }, {
  :base_path => File.join(Dir.pwd, "views"),
  :scope => self
})
<!-- views/myview.html.erb -->
<% extends("base.html") %>

<% vlock(:title) do %>
  <%= current_user.name %>
<% end %>

<% vlock(:body) do %>
  <ul>
    <% items.each do |item| %>
      <li><%= item %></li>
    <% end %>
  </ul>
<% end %>

<!-- views/base.html.erb -->
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
  <title><% vlock(:title) %> - MyApp</title>
  <body>
    <% vlock(:body) %>
  </body>
</html>

Usage example using Cuba

module View
  def render_view(template_name, locals = {})
    content = Armadillo.render(template_name, locals, {
      :base_path => File.join(APP_PATH, "views"),
      :scope => self,
      :escape_html => true
    })
    res.write(content)
    halt(res.finish)
  end
end

on get, root do
  render_view("main/index.html", {
    :items => [1, 2, 3]
  })
end
