liteview
a NodeJS template engine ! fast ! type less, do more !

>npm install liteview # install version 0.1.1 +
example:
var view = require('liteview');
view.init(tpl_base); // set template base to view
view.debug(true); //if needed, set debug ,view will console.log the debug info
view.render('test.html',{
name:'liteview',
version:'v x.x.x',
list:[
{name:'fish',address:'abc'},
{name:'cat',address:'def',child:[{item:'apple'},{item:'orange'}]},

]
});
============== tpl test.html =============
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
#{set(totalPage = 5)}
#{if(#list)}
<ul>
#{foreach(#list)}
<li>
#{[-]} : #{[name]} - #{[address]}
#{foreach(#[child])}
<span>#{[item]}</span>
#{end}
#{foreach(#[array])}
<i>#{[_]}</i>
#{end}
#{for(var i=0;i<#var:totalPage;i++)}
<a href="/page/#{var:i}">page-#{var:i}</a>
#{end}
</li>
#{end}
</ul>
#{end}
</body>
</html>
PS: inline script must add ";" when needed !!!
features:
* simple syntax,type less , do more;
* cache template into mem, so run more faster;
syntax:
* variable define , set up local vars, it's different with replacement
#{set(a=0)} equal in javascript: var a = 0;
#{var:a}
* single replacement
#{replacement} #var
* if else
#{if(#replacement)} #{elseif(#replacement)} #{else} #{end}
* foreach
#{foreach(#replacement)} #{end}
replacement in foreach using #{[xxx]} , #[xxx]
magic var : #{[-]} , #{[_]} , #{[%]} // array index , array item , array length
* for
#{for(var n=0;n<#total;n++)}
page#{var:n}
#{end}
* const
#{const:xxx}
* expression
#{(#a+1)}
#{(func(#a+1))}
* literal
display content without syntax parse
#{literal}
literal output , useful for inline-script in html
#{literal}
* block
define a code block
#{block=test}
//TODO your html code here , everything can be here
#{blockend}
invoke block
#{block:test}
api:
* init(base,[const]); init template base ,constants
* debug(bool); set debug
* reg(name,func); regist functions that called in the tpl
* constant(const); set constants
* preload(tpl); pre-compile the tpl file, and tpl will be cached ,so when cal render, no more compile;
* render(tpl,[data]); return string (usually html code);
