title: Render Tag Content
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Custom tags can have content template and can be nested. This article describes how to implement custom tags that consists of a *begin tag*, an *end tag*, and template content between them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Render Tag Content
|
||||
|
||||
We'll start with a simple tag `wrap` which wraps its content into a `<div class="wrapper"></div>` element:
|
||||
|
||||
```liquid
|
||||
{% wrap %}
|
||||
{{ "hello world!" | capitalize }}
|
||||
{% endwrap %}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected output:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<div class='wrapper'>
|
||||
Hello world!
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Firstly, [register][register-tags] a tag with name `wrap` and parse the content into `this.tpls`. Here in `parse(tagToken, remainTokens)`,
|
||||
|
||||
- `tagToken` is current token `{% wrap %}`, and
|
||||
- `remainTokens` is an array of all tokens following `{% wrap %}` until the end of this template file.
|
||||
|
||||
Basically, what we need to do is take/`.shift()` enough tags from `remainTokens` until we got a `endwrap` token (the name can be arbitrary, but in convention, we need it to be `endwrap`). And if there's no `endwrap` until the end of template file, we need to throw an tag-not-closed `Error`.
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
engine.registerTag('wrap', {
|
||||
parse(tagToken, remainTokens) {
|
||||
this.tpls = []
|
||||
let closed = false
|
||||
while(remainTokens.length) {
|
||||
let token = remainTokens.shift()
|
||||
// we got the end tag! stop taking tokens
|
||||
if (token.name === 'endwrap') {
|
||||
closed = true
|
||||
break
|
||||
}
|
||||
// parse token into template
|
||||
// parseToken() may consume more than 1 tokens
|
||||
// e.g. {% if %}...{% endif %}
|
||||
let tpl = this.liquid.parser.parseToken(token, remainTokens)
|
||||
this.tpls.push(tpl)
|
||||
}
|
||||
if (!closed) throw new Error(`tag ${tagToken.getText()} not closed`)
|
||||
},
|
||||
* render(context, emitter) {
|
||||
emitter.write("<div class='wrapper'>")
|
||||
yield this.liquid.renderer.renderTemplates(this.tpls, context, emitter)
|
||||
emitter.write("</div>")
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`.renderTemplates()` can be async, we need `yield` to wait it complete. More details on async in LiquidJS, please refer to [Sync and Async][async]. Other parts of `render()` method is quite straightforward. Here's a JSFiddle version: <http://jsfiddle.net/por0zcn1/3/>
|
||||
|
||||
## Using ParseStream
|
||||
|
||||
When it comes to complex tags like [for][for] and [if][if], the `parse()` can be very complicated. There's a [ParseStream][ParseStream] utility to organize the `parse()` in event-based style. Following is a re-written `parse()` using `ParseStream` and does exactly the same as above example.
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
parse(tagToken, remainTokens) {
|
||||
this.tpls = []
|
||||
this.liquid.parser.parseStream(remainTokens)
|
||||
.on('template', tpl => this.tpls.push(tpl))
|
||||
// note that we cannot use arrow function because we need `this`
|
||||
.on('tag:endwrap', function () { this.stop() })
|
||||
.on('end', () => { throw new Error(`tag ${tagToken.getText()} not closed`) })
|
||||
.start()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here's a JSFiddle version: <http://jsfiddle.net/por0zcn1/4/>. For simplicity, the following examples are implemented using `ParseStream`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Manipulate the Context
|
||||
|
||||
The `wrap` tag above doesn't seem to be very useful, without using that tag we can render the content anyway. Now we're going to implement a `repeat` tag to render the content 2 times (we can also add a [parameter][parameter] to render arbitrary times).
|
||||
|
||||
```liquid
|
||||
{% repeat %}
|
||||
{{ repeat.i }}. {{ "hello world!" | capitalize }}
|
||||
{% endrepeat %}`
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Expected outputs:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
1. Hello world!
|
||||
2. Hello world!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As you've noticed, there's an additional `repeat.i` in the context of `repeat`. That is implemented by manipulating the *Context*.
|
||||
|
||||
{% note info Context %}
|
||||
<em>Context</em> defines the value of each variable in Liquid template. In LiquidJS, a `Context` consists of a stack of `Scope`s. A *Scope* is a plain object like the one specified in `engine.render(tpl, scope)`.
|
||||
{% endnote %}
|
||||
|
||||
Each time we enter a new *Context*, we need to push a new *Scope*. And when we finish rendering and exit the *Context*, we pop the *Scope* from the *Context*. As you can see in the following implementation:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
engine.registerTag('repeat', {
|
||||
parse(tagToken, remainTokens) {
|
||||
this.tpls = []
|
||||
this.liquid.parser.parseStream(remainTokens)
|
||||
.on('template', tpl => this.tpls.push(tpl))
|
||||
.on('tag:endrepeat', function () { this.stop() })
|
||||
.on('end', () => { throw new Error(`tag ${tagToken.getText()} not closed`) })
|
||||
.start()
|
||||
},
|
||||
* render(context, emitter) {
|
||||
const repeat = { i: 1 }
|
||||
context.push({ repeat })
|
||||
yield this.liquid.renderer.renderTemplates(this.tpls, context, emitter)
|
||||
repeat.i++
|
||||
yield this.liquid.renderer.renderTemplates(this.tpls, context, emitter)
|
||||
context.pop()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `parse()` is exactly the same as `wrap` tag, we repeat the content simply by calling `.renderTemplates(this.tpls)` twice during `render()`. Here's the JSFiddle: <http://jsfiddle.net/por0zcn1/2/>
|
||||
|
||||
{% note warn Use Push & Pop in Pairs %}
|
||||
`context.push()` and `context.pop()` have to be used in pairs. Failing to `pop()` the *Scope* you pushed will leak the *Scope* to latter templates and may corrupt the *Context* stack.
