Bowtie

Build Status Coverage Status

Expressive template engine for Node.js heavily inspired by Jade.

Goals

This project aims to develop an expressive template language to write html documents using the dry and kiss principles. And of course, remove the pain of writing angle brackets.

Current status

This project is currently in it's pre-alpha stage. Current features:

  • Basic html output
  • Loops
  • If-Else
  • Mixins
  • Extending
  • Importing
  • Variables

Installation

$ npm install bowtie-js
Syntax highlighting

Syntax highlighting and auto completion is available for Atom editor. Syntax highlighting is triggered on .bow-files.

Install:

$ apm install atom-language-bowtie

Usage

With Gulp

Gulp compatible compiling comes out of the box with Bowtie, example:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var bowtie = require('bowtie-js').gulp;

gulp.task('bowtie', function() {
  return gulp.src('*.bow')
    .pipe(bowtie({
      // Pretty output
      "pretty": true,
      // Object to pass to template engine
      "locals": {
        "title": "Example application"
      }
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
});

Example

!doctype("html")
html {
  head {
    title: $title
  }
  body {
    div.className {
      h1: "Example"
      p: "Hello world!"
    }
  }
}

The example above outputs:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Example application</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="className">
            <h1>Example</h1>
            <p>Hello world!</p>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

bowtie's Issues

Markdown support

Support markdown document importing, i.e. import:markdown "foo.md"

escaping

Support escaping blocks, i.e.

:escape 
code
:end

Alpha requirements

  • Pure templating (no variable assignments, modifications or interactions)
  • Basic looping
    • for ($i in (1..10))
    • for ($article in articles)
  • Mixins
  • If-else
  • String interpolation

browserify

fix a browser version in order to make an awesome presentation page

Tagparsing bugs

  1. Class names are not parsed correctly when they contain "-", e.g foo.bar-baz
  2. Link/script tags get file extensions as class names. E.g. script(href="foo.js") -> <script class="js" src="foo.js"></script>

Proposed 

article -> (title, content) {
  h1: title
  p: content
}
html {
 head {
  title: Test
 }
 body {
  h1 Hello world
  p {
    Long paragraph
  }
 }
}

Mixins block support

In order to make mixins useful, they need to be able to take a block as "parameter", e.g.

$article -> ($title) {
 h1: $title
 div.foo.bar {
  bowtie:block
 }
}

$article("Foo") {
 // This becomes bowtie:block
 p: "Bar!"
}
