|---|---|
| Description: | Template engine powered by the 'inja' C++ library. Users write a template document, using syntax inspired by the 'Jinja' Python package, and then render the final document by passing data from R. The template syntax supports features such as variables, loops, conditions and inheritance. |

Create an object to configure the templating engine behavior (e.g. customize the syntax). The default values have been chosen to match the Jinja defaults.
jinjar_config( loader = NULL, block_open = "{%", block_close = "%}", variable_open = "{{", variable_close = "}}", comment_open = "{#", comment_close = "#}", line_statement = NULL, trim_blocks = FALSE, lstrip_blocks = FALSE, ignore_missing_files = FALSE ) default_config()jinjar_config( loader = NULL, block_open = "{%", block_close = "%}", variable_open = "{{", variable_close = "}}", comment_open = "{#", comment_close = "#}", line_statement = NULL, trim_blocks = FALSE, lstrip_blocks = FALSE, ignore_missing_files = FALSE ) default_config()

The opening and closing delimiters
for comments. Default: |

The prefix for an inline statement. If |

Remove inline whitespace before a block. Default: |

The equivalent Jinja class is Environment, but this term has special
significance in R (see environment()).

Loaders are responsible for exposing templates to the templating engine.
path_loader() loads templates from a directory in the file system.
package_loader() loads templates from a directory in an R package.
list_loader() loads templates from a named list.
path_loader(...) package_loader(package, ...) list_loader(x)path_loader(...) package_loader(package, ...) list_loader(x)
... |
Strings specifying path components. |
package |
Name of the package in which to search. |
x |
Named list mapping template names to template sources. |
A "jinjar_loader" object.
The loader is an argument to jinjar_config().
path_loader(getwd()) package_loader("base", "demo") list_loader(list( header = "Title: {{ title }}", content = "Hello {{ person }}!" ))path_loader(getwd()) package_loader("base", "demo") list_loader(list( header = "Title: {{ title }}", content = "Hello {{ person }}!" ))
Sometimes you want to render multiple copies of a template, using different
sets of data variables. parse_template() returns an intermediate version
of the template, so you can render() repeatedly without re-parsing the
template syntax.

print() for pretty printing.

Once a template has been parsed, it can be printed with color highlighting of the templating blocks.

parse_template() supports parsing a template once and rendering multiple
times with different data variables.
