Qt Mustache

qt-mustache is a simple library for rendering Mustache templates.

Example Usage

```cpp #include "mustache.h"

QVariantHash contact; contact["name"] = "John Smith"; contact["email"] = "john.smith@gmail.com";

QString contactTemplate = "<b>{{name}}</b> <a href=\"mailto:{{email}}">{{email}}";

Mustache::Renderer renderer; Mustache::QtVariantContext context(contact);

QTextStream output(stdout); output << renderer.render(contactTemplate, &context); ```

Outputs: <b>John Smith</b> <a href="mailto:john.smith\@gmail.com">john.smith@gmail.com</a>

For further examples, see the tests in test_mustache.cpp

Building

  • To build the tests, run qmake followed by make
  • To use qt-mustache in your project, just add the mustache.h and mustache.cpp files to your project.

License

qt-mustache is licensed under the BSD license.

Dependencies

qt-mustache depends on the QtCore library. It is compatible with Qt 4 and Qt 5.

Usage

Syntax

qt-mustache uses the standard Mustache syntax. See the Mustache manual for details.

Data Sources

qt-mustache expands Mustache tags using values from a Mustache::Context. Mustache::QtVariantContext is a simple context implementation which wraps a QVariantHash or QVariantMap. If you want to render a template using a custom data source, you can either create a QVariantHash which mirrors the data source or you can re-implement Mustache::Context.

Partials

When a {{>partial}} Mustache tag is encountered, qt-mustache will attempt to load the partial using a Mustache::PartialResolver provided by the context. Mustache::PartialMap is a simple resolver which takes a QHash<QString,QString> map of partial names to values and looks up partials in that map. Mustache::PartialFileLoader is another simple resolver which fetches partials from <partial name>.mustache files in a specified directory.

You can re-implement the Mustache::PartialResolver interface if you want to load partials from a custom source (eg. a database).

Error Handling

If an error occurs when rendering a template, Mustache::Renderer::errorPosition() is set to non-negative value and template rendering stops. If the error occurs whilst rendering a partial template, errorPartial() contains the name of the partial.

Lambdas

The Mustache manual provides a mechanism to customize rendering of template sections by setting the value for a tag to a callable object (eg. a lambda in Ruby or Javascript), which takes the unrendered block of text for a template section and renders it itself. qt-mustache supports this via the Context::canEval() and Context::eval() methods.
