Hi, nice work

Would it be possible to pass a format string to printf? Here's an example without

.DELIMS stmt-block="<% %>" tag="{{ }}"
<%
ENV_VARIABLE="$(printf "%17s" "$ENV_VARIABLE")"
name1="$(printf "%-13s" "$1")"
name2="$(printf "%-13s" "$2")"
%>


+---------------+---------+-------------------+
|               |         |                   |
+---------------+---------+-------------------+
| {{ $name1  }} | ....... | {{$ENV_VARIABLE}} |
| {{ $name2  }} | ....... | {{$ENV_VARIABLE}} |
+---------------+---------+-------------------+

and with,

.DELIMS tag="{{ }}"

+------------------+---------+-------------------+
|                  |         |                   |
+------------------+---------+-------------------+
| {{%-13s $1    }} | ....... | {{%17s $ENV_VARIABLE}} |
| {{%-13s $2    }} | ....... | {{%17s $ENV_VARIABLE}} |
+---------------+---------+-------------------+

You can add Adrian's tool pp to similar tools section.

description of pp:

pp

a preprocessor

pp allows embedding sh code in files of any type by nesting it inside the #!\n token, where \n is a new line. That means that if you'd like a simple loop or an if inside an HTML file for instance, you could use pp.

Hello,

I'm using your project inside mine.
It is a kind of bash compiler (it aggregates several files together in order to generate a unique bash file).

bash-tpl is in the heart of this compiler, so this message is just to say thank you for your work.

I added a reference to your project here

kind regards,

First, thanks for the great work on bash-tpl -- I've been using it to great effect when making some new static sites.

I ran across an issue recently -- it appears that .INCLUDE cannot be used with a variable to render another .tpl file dynamically (eg., .INCLUDE $1).

Bash version:
GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (arm64-apple-darwin22)

Repro steps:

1. Create a top-level "layout" file.

printf '<div class="container">\n  .INCLUDE $1\n</div>\n' > layout.tpl

Which produces:

<div class="container">
  .INCLUDE $1
</div>

2. Create a "partial" view file with some content

echo '<span>Subcontent should be displayed</span>' > partial.tpl

Which produces:

<span>Subcontent should be displayed</span>

3. Call bash-tpl

bash-tpl layout.tpl partial.tpl

This produces the following:

printf "%s\n" \<div\ class=\"container\"\>
  printf "%s\n" \ \ \</div\>

I expected this output:

printf "%s\n" \<div\ class=\"container\"\>
  printf "%s\n" \ \ Subcontent\ should\ be\ displayed
printf "%s\n" \</div\>

I would expect that the argument $1 could be used in the .INCLUDE directive to dynamically pass in the .tpl file that should be rendered. I also could be missing something straightforward here, in which case any insight would be appreciated.

If this is not currently a feature, having this ability in bash-tpl would be great.

Discussed in #5

hi, thanks for a great project

i'm trying to use .INCLUDE inside a statement block but can't quite figure it out. is it supported?

% if [[ -f  "$BUILD_SRC/Dockerfile" ]]; then
 .INCLUDE "$BUILD_SRC/Dockerfile"
% fi

if the file "$BUILD_SRC/Dockerfile" does not exist then the .INCLUDE statement is ignored BUT bash-tpl STILL seems to want to check that the .INCLUDE file exists thus throwing an error. This is unexpected.

File not found: '/data/Hacking/computing/docker/uci-docker-nextcloud/src/Dockerfile'
/dev/fd/63: line 142: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
/dev/fd/63: line 142: `fi'

if "$BUILD_SRC/Dockerfile" exists it all works as expected.
