Public API

{

// render method

render(vm: string, context?: Object, macros?: Object): string;

parse(vm: string, config?: Object, ignorespace?: boolean): Array;

Compile: {

(asts: Array, config?: Object): {

render(context?: Object, macros?: Object);

};

};

}

render

params:

vm {string} velocity string input

context {object} render context, data or function for vm

macros {object} such as #include('path/xxx') , you can define you inlcude macro function

var Velocity = require('velocityjs');

Velocity.render('string of velocity', context, macros);

context

context is an object or undefined, for vm $foo.bar, data look up path will be context.foo.bar.

context can have method, and call it just on velocity string.

The method of context, will have eval method on this of inner method body. You can eval to rerender velocity string, such as test code $control.setTemplate.

Compile and parse

parse method can parse vm, and return ast tree of velocity.

Compile will render asts to result string.

var Compile = Velocity.Compile;

var asts = Velocity.parse('string of velocity');

(new Compile(asts)).render(context, macros);

Compile

params:

asts {array} array of vm asts tree

config {object} you can define some option for Compile

config

escape {boolean} default false, default not escape variable to html encode, you can set true to open it.

unescape {object} define the object, which key do not need escape. For example, set unescape equal {control: true}, so $control.html will not escape.

env {string} when env equal development will throw error when null values are used

valueMapper {function} this config allow us to redefine the #set value, @see https://github.com/shepherdwind/velocity.js/pull/105

parse

params:

vm {string} string to parse

blocks {object} self define blocks, such as #cms(1) hello #end, you can set {cms: true}

ignorespace {boolean} if set true, then ignore the newline trim.

Syntax

Syntax you can find from velocity user guide。

Directives

Directives supports have set, foreach, if|else|elseif, macro, break, stop.

Some othe directive evaluate, define, parse, do not supported default, but You can realize by context or macros, for example parse
