Malt
DESCRIPTION
Malt provides a factory framework for rendering a variety of template and markup document formats.
SYNOPSIS
Functional API
Malt.render(:file=>'foo.erb', :format=>:html, :data=>data)
Where data
is a data source of some type. Malt will see that the file is an ERB template and render it accordingly.
The output of this call will be the HTML String.
Object-oriented API
Malt.file('foo.erb').to_html(data).to_s
Where data
is a data source of some type. Malt will see that the file is an ERB template and render it accordingly.
To get the render text you simple need to provide the template or markup type.
Malt.text(text, :type=>:erb).to_html(data).to_s
Notice the #to_s. This is needed because #to_html returns an Malt::Format::HTML object.
COMING SOON
Malt can also “multi-render”.
Malt.file('foo.rdoc.erb').to_html(data) # ~> foo.html
