Eldr::Rendering

Template helpers for Eldr apps and compatible Rack apps.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'eldr-rendering'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install eldr-rendering

To use the render helper create an Eldr::App and call it in a route's handler:

class App < Eldr::App
  include Eldr::Rendering
  set :views_dir, File.join(__dir__, 'views')

  get '/cats' do
    render 'cats.slim'
  end
end

It will wrap the template up in a Rack::Response and return it.

Inside your template you can make use of the tag helpers. Eldr::Rendering currently provides just two html helpers; tag() and content_tag().

You can use tag() for one line tags like links:

tag(:a, :data => { :remote => true, :method => 'post'})

And content_tag for html tags that need to be outputted with a block of content:

content_tag(:p, :class => 'large', :id => 'star') { "Demo" }

Eldr::Rendering is usable in any valid Rakc that has a configuration object that responds to views_dir and engine. You can use it in eldr-action or any valid Rack app.

For example:

class App
  include Eldr::Rendering

  attr_accessor :configuration

  def initialize
    @configuration = Struct.new(:views_dir, :engine)
    @configuration.views_dir = File.join(__dir__, 'views')
    @configuratio.engine     = 'slim'
  end

  def call(env)
    render 'cats.slim'
  end
end

run App.new

See examples/app.ru for an example app.

To remember this you can use the easy to remember and totally not tongue-in-check initialism: FCCTPP.

I don't want any of these steps to scare you off. If you don't know how to do something or are struggle getting it to work feel free to create a pull request or issue anyway. I'll be happy to help you get your contributions up to code and into the repo!
