This is the available syntax for the Tundra views. ## Print This will print anything insite the tags, included variables contained in the data object passed to the `render` or `getRender` method. ``` {{ variable }} ``` _For your safety anything printed inside this tags will be escaped._ ## Raw print This will print anything insite the tags, included variables contained in the data object passed to the `render` or `getRender` method without escaping it. ``` {! variable !} ``` _Be careful about what will be printed in that tags since it will NOT be escaped in any way._ ## Comments The comments of Tundra have an advantage over the common HTML comments, and is that these comments won't be rendered to the user. ``` {# comment #} ``` The comments accept multilines too. ``` {# This is a multiline comment #} ``` ## Code Any type of Javascript code can be put between the `{% %}` tags. ```js {% var code_inside_this_tags = true %} ``` Tundra doesn't limit you about what kind of code can be put between those tags, so that it's up to you. ### Brackets The brackets `{ }` used for conditionals and cycles in normal Js code can be replaced by `:` and `end`, this is just syntactic sugar. Normal: ```js {% if (true) { %} //Code {% } %} ``` Syntactic sugar: ```js {% if (true): %} //Code {% end %} ``` ## Escaping If you want to escape the template tags just prefix it with a hypen character `~`, like this: ``` ~{{ msg }} ``` That will leave this in the HTML returned to the client: ``` {{ msg }} ``` ## Requiring views To get the content of another view in the current one you can use the `require` tag. ``` @require(imported_view.html) ``` That will put all the content of the `imported_view.html` file in that line. If it doesn't exists, the line will be empty and an error will be printed in console. _Included views have access to the variables in the current context._ _The path inside this tag is relative to the base directory variable._ ## Spreads (Reusable code blocks) In Tundra you can define and use reusable code blocks in your views, useful for avoiding code repetition. This reusable code blocks are called spreads. ### Defining Example defining a spread: ```html {[ spread hello ]} Hello world {[ endspread ]} ``` ### Using Example requesting it: ```html @spread(hello) ``` That will put all the content of the `hello` spread in that line. ### Example Here is a more complete example of a spread in a view: ```html {[ spread hello ]} {% var msg = 'hello' %} {{ msg }} {[ endspread ]} {{ title }} @spread(hello) ``` That should leave the following code: ```html {{ title }} {% var msg = 'hello' %} {{ msg }} ``` _Spreads can be defined anywhere in your file and can be requested as many times as you want._
