digitalmars.D.announce - Diamond - MVC / Template engine

reply Bauss <jj_1337 live.dk> writes:
Just finished up the base for Diamond and its initiate state with 
Github and Dub, as well the first guide on using Diamond with 
vibe.d for websites.

Diamond is a MVC / Template framework originally made for a hobby 
project, but as I developed it further I saw some potential in it 
and have now decided to make it open-source.

It can be used to write websites/webservices on-top of vibe.d 
Allowing you to easily create and run websites/webservices 
without a lot of configurations to vibe.d since it's all done 
through simple configuration files in json, as well handled 
behind the scenes within the core framework of Diamond.

Diamond however is also a template framework for views 
(Originally designed for web-views only.) and thus can be used to 
render MVC websites using its own syntax, heavily inspired by the 
ASP.NET razor syntax; not entirely though.

It's currently in its first stable alpha version (0.2.2)

For more information please view below.

Thank you and yes, there's a few wiki pages at the moment.

Just finished stand-alone support and added a "guide" on how to 
use it. There are currently 3 guides on using it for websites, 
webservices and as stand-alone.

Next thing coming up is a website for the whole thing :)

This marks the last "initial" alpha version 0.2.3

The plan is to have monthly releases with stable versions.

Well I didn't see it in the dub repository, so I didn't assume 
anyone had used the name, so didn't assume anything existed with 
it.

I apologize for the inconvenience though.

The dub repository seems to have a problem properly escaping your 
example template. Could you check on that, and if the problem is 
on the dub registry create a bug report there?

Yes. To escape there is the escape function.

Take a look at the comparison for the result.

I'm going to figure out a syntax for escaping though, so there'll 
be one for both.

Not sure what symbols to use though.  $=value_to_escape; is 
probably going to be the result.

No wait I forgot it already is possible.

I am such a mess today and also wish there was an edit button for 
forum posts.

 (value_to_escape) will only escape text and not variables, so a 
syntax for an expression/variable is still up. I will go with the 
 $= syntax for now

A commit has now been done with escaping for variables / 
expressions.

Can be seen here:
https://github.com/bausshf/Diamond/commit/e082d63d2a351a9e57cfc7f8bee8182711919759

It'll come in version 0.2.4

I'd say do what razor does: raw output should require extra 
syntax. Weren't templates created in order to not build html in 
code?

So you suggest to switch them around? :)

 =value; will become encoded and  $=value; will become raw?

That could work out.
