中文版文档

• Supports both client and server side use.
• Separation of parsing and rendering templates.
• The basic syntax is fully supported all java version velocity.
• Vim Syntax for vim.

via npm:

$ npm install velocityjs

Compatible all modern broswer, You can try test case on your browser to test it.

For other lower version broswer, you need have those polyfill function.

1. Array.prototype map, forEach, some, filter, every, indexOf
2. Date.now
3. Object.keys

You can find a lot of examples from the tests directory. There is no different between the use of browser and NodeJs.

{
  // render method
  render(vm: string, context?: Object, macros?: Object): string;

  parse(vm: string, config?: Object, ignorespace?: boolean): Array<Ast>;

  Compile: {
    (asts: Array<Ast>, config?: Object): {
      render(context?: Object, macros?: Object);
    };
  };
}

params:

• vm {string} velocity string input
• context {object} render context, data or function for vm
• macros {object} such as #include('path/xxx') , you can define you inlcude macro function

var Velocity = require('velocityjs');

Velocity.render('string of velocity', context, macros);

context is an object or undefined, for vm $foo.bar, data look up path will be context.foo.bar. context can have method, and call it just on velocity string.

The method of context, will have eval method on this of inner method body. You can eval to rerender velocity string, such as test code $control.setTemplate.

parse method can parse vm, and return ast tree of velocity.

Compile will render asts to result string.

var Compile = Velocity.Compile;

var asts = Velocity.parse('string of velocity');
(new Compile(asts)).render(context, macros);

params:

• asts {array} array of vm asts tree
• config {object} you can define some option for Compile

• escape {boolean} default true, default escape variable to html encode, you can set false to close it.
• unescape {object} define the object, which key do not need escape. For example, set unescape equal {control: true}, so $control.html will not escape.
• env {string} when env equal development will throw error when null values are used

params:

• vm {string} string to parse
• blocks {object} self define blocks, such as #cms(1) hello #end, you can set {cms: true}
• ignorespace {boolean} if set true, then ignore the newline trim.

Syntax you can find from velocity user guide。

Directives supports have set, foreach, if|else|elseif, macro, break, stop.

Some othe directive evaluate, define, parse, do not supported default, but You can realize by context or macros, for example parse
