You create Template instances using the init(_: initializer while providing an associated content type.
Match a specific content type and produce an entry point for a site.
Example.
let pageTemplate = Template(exclude: #"(/)|(/posts)"#) { (page: Page) in baseLayout(site: site, page: page, main: """
<main>
\(page.content)
</main>
""" ) }
Include all content templates when calling init(_:. The templates will only be applied when calling render(clean:.
Use them to define a common layout.
Example.
func baseLayout (site: BasicBlog, page: Page? = nil, post: Post? = nil, tagPage: TagPage? = nil, main: String) -> String { """
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/global.css" />
<script src="/assets/highlight.js"></script>
<title>\(site.config.title) | \(page?.title ?? post?.title ?? tagPage!.tag)</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
\(navigationPartial(site, page))
</header>
\(main)
<footer>
<span>Made with and <a href="https://github.com/swiftysites/swiftysites">SwiftySites</a>.</span>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
""" }
Usage.
let postsSectionTemplate = Template("/posts") { (page: Page) in baseLayout(site: site, page: page, main: """
<main>
\(page.content)
<hr />
<ul>
\(site.contentB.reduce("") {
$0 + """
<li>
<a href="\($1.path)">\($1.title)</a>
</li>
"""
})
</ul>
</main>
""" ) }
Use them to isolate fragments.
Example.
let postPartial = { (site: BasicBlog, post: Post) -> String in """
<article>
<header>
<h1><a href="\(post.path)">\(post.title)</a></h1>
<div>\(post.author) on \(post.dateFormatted)</div>
</header>
<main>
\(post.content)
</main>
</article>
""" }
Usage.
let postTemplate = BasicBlog.templateB { site, post in baseLayout(site: site, post: post, main: """
<main>
\(postPartial(site, post))
</main>
""" ) }
