Templater

Very basic Swift templating engine. macOS and Linux ready.

Templater is a very simple tool aimed at solving the simple task: in a string template, fill in a few variables with certain values. Something like Stencil or Mustache. Just a super simple version of them.

❓ Why?

I needed to fill in a large markdown file with fresh data every day, to generate a pretty report. The existing libraries seemed like an overkill for the simple usecase, so I wrote a lightweight (literally less than 100 lines of code) solution myself.

🚀 Features

The template string must contain one or more strings like {{ variable_name }}, such as Hello, {{ name }}!. When you render this template with the context of name = "world", you'll get Hello, world!.

🔨 Usage

do {
	//create the template
	let template = Template("Hello, {{ name }}! Today is {{ day }} and it will be {{ weather }}.")

	//have your context
	let context = [
		"name": "Tim",
		"day": "Thursday",
		"weather": "sunny"
	]

	//render the context
	let result = try template.fill(with: context)

	//result: "Hello, Tim! Today is Thursday and it will be sunny."
} catch {
	print("Template error: \(error)")
}
