This is a C++ implementation of a subset of the Ruby Slim templating engine syntax, and Ruby programming language scripts for dynamic content.
Slim:
html
head
title #{@page_title} - C++ Slim
=yield :head
body
header
h1 = @page_title
= yield
footer

//Parse the template files. Templates can be re-used and are thread-safe.
auto page_tpl = slim::parse_template_file("example.html.slim")
auto layout_tpl = slim::parse_template_file("layout.html.slim")
//ViewModel contains all the methods and instance data for "self" in the template/scripts.
auto model = std::make_shared<MyViewModel>();
model->set("page_title", slim::make_value("Example"));
//Render to a HTML string
auto html = page_tpl->render_layout(layout_tpl, model);The template syntax is based on the Ruby Slim templating engine.
The templates can include simple Ruby-like script expression for the creation of dynamic content.
This is supported by a C++ object hierarchy (starting with slim::Object) and a Ruby based source text syntax.
