4
- == Defining Tags
5
-
6
- Before you can parse a template with Radius you need to create a Context object which defines
7
- the tags that will be used in the template. This is actually quite simple:
8
-
9
- require 'radius'
10
-
11
- context = Context.new
12
- context.define_tag "hello" do |tag|
13
- "Hello #{tag.attr['name'] || 'World'}!"
14
- end
15
-
16
- Once you have defined a context you can easily create a Parser:
17
-
18
- parser = Radius::Parser.new(context)
19
- puts parser.parse('<p><radius:hello /></p>')
20
- puts parser.parse('<p><radius:hello name="John" /></p>')
21
-
22
- This code will output:
23
-
24
- <p>Hello World!</p>
25
- <p>Hello John!</p>
26
-
27
- Note how you can pass attributes from the template to the context using the attributes hash.
28
- Above, the first tag that was parsed didn't have a name attribute so the code in the +hello+
29
- tag definition uses "World" instead. The second time the tag is parsed the name attribute is
30
- set to "John" which is used to create the string "Hello John!". Tags that do not follow this
31
- rule will be treated as if they were undefined (like normal methods).
32
-
33
-
34
- == Container Tags
35
-
36
- Radius also allows you to define "container" tags. That is, tags that contain content and
37
- that may optionally manipulate it in some way. For example, if you have RedCloth installed
38
- you could define another tag to parse and create Textile output:
39
-
40
- require 'redcloth'
41
-
42
- context.define_tag "textile" do |tag|
43
- contents = tag.expand
44
- RedCloth.new(contents).to_html
45
- end
46
-
47
- (The code <tt>tag.expand</tt> above returns the contents of the template between the start and end
48
- tags.)
49
-
50
- With the code above your parser can easily handle Textile:
51
-
52
- parser.parse('<radius:textile>h1. Hello **World**!</radius:textile>')
53
-
54
- This code will output:
55
-
56
- <h1>Hello <strong>World</strong>!</h1>
57
-
58
-
59
- == Nested Tags
60
-
61
- But wait!--it gets better. Because container tags can manipulate the content they contain
62
- you can use them to iterate over collections:
63
-
64
- context = Context.new
65
-
66
- context.define_tag "stooge" do |tag|
67
- content = ''
68
- ["Larry", "Moe", "Curly"].each do |name|
69
- tag.locals.name = name
70
- content << tag.expand
71
- end
72
- content
73
- end
74
-
75
- context.define_tag "stooge:name" do
76
- tag.locals.name
77
- end
78
-
79
- parser = Radius::Parser.new(context)
80
-
81
- template = <<-TEMPLATE
82
- <ul>
83
- <radius:stooge>
84
- <li><radius:name /></li>
85
- </radius:stooge>
86
- </ul>
87
- TEMPLATE
88
-
89
- puts parser.parse(template)
90
-
91
- This code will output:
92
-
93
- <ul>
94
-
95
- <li>Larry</li>
96
-
97
- <li>Moe</li>
98
-
99
- <li>Curly</li>
100
-
101
- </ul>
102
-
103
- Note how the definition for the +name+ tag is defined. Because "name" is prefixed
104
- with "stooge:" the +name+ tag cannot appear outside the +stooge+ tag. Had it been defined
105
- simply as "name" it would be valid anywhere, even outside the +stooge+ tag (which was
106
- not what we wanted). Using the colon operator you can define tags with any amount of
107
- nesting.
108
-
109
-
110
- == Exposing Objects to Templates
111
-
112
- During normal operation, you will often want to expose certain objects to your templates.
113
- Writing the tags to do this all by hand would be cumbersome of Radius did not provide
114
- several mechanisms to make this easier. The first is a way of exposing objects as tags
115
- on the context object. To expose an object simply call the +define_tag+
116
- method with the +for+ option:
117
-
118
- context.define_tag "count", :for => 1
119
-
120
- This would expose the object <tt>1</tt> to the template as the +count+ tag. It's basically the
121
- equivalent of writing:
122
-
123
- context.define_tag("count") { 1 }
124
-
125
- So far this doesn't save you a whole lot of typing, but suppose you want to expose certain
126
- methods that are on that object? You could do this:
127
-
128
- context.define_tag "user", :for => user, :expose => [ :name, :age, :email ]
129
-
130
- This will add a total of four tags to the context. One for the <tt>user</tt> variable, and
131
- one for each of the three methods listed in the +expose+ clause. You could now get the user's
132
- name inside your template like this:
133
-
134
- <radius:user><radius:name /></radius:user>
135
-
136
- If "John" was the value stored in <tt>user.name</tt> the template would render as "John".
137
-
138
-
139
- == Tag Shorthand
140
-
141
- In the example above we made reference to <tt>user.name</tt> in our template by using the
142
- following code:
143
-
144
- <radius:user><radius:name /></radius:user>
145
-
146
- There is a much easer way to refer to the <tt>user.name</tt> variable. Use the colon operator
147
- to "scope" the reference to <tt>name</tt>:
148
-
149
- <radius:user:name />
150
-
151
- Radius allows you to use this shortcut for all tags.
152
-
153
-
154
- == Changing the Tag Prefix
155
-
156
- By default, all Radius tags must begin with "radius". You can change this by altering the
157
- tag_prefix attribute on a Parser. For example:
158
-
159
- parser = Radius::Parser.new(context, :tag_prefix => 'r')
160
-
161
- Now, when parsing templates with +parser+, Radius will require that every tag begin with "r"
162
- instead of "radius".
163
-
164
-
165
- == Custom Behavior for Undefined Tags
166
-
167
- Context#tag_missing behaves much like Object#method_missing only it allows you to define
168
- specific behavior for when a tag is not defined on a Context. For example:
169
-
170
- class LazyContext < Radius::Context
171
- def tag_missing(tag, attr, &block)
172
- "<strong>ERROR: Undefined tag `#{tag}' with attributes #{attr.inspect}</strong>"
173
- end
174
- end
175
-
176
- parser = Radius::Parser.new(LazyContext.new, :tag_prefix => 'lazy')
177
- puts parser.parse('<lazy:weird value="true" />')
178
-
179
- This will output:
180
-
181
- <strong>ERROR: Undefined tag `weird' with attributes {"value"=>"true"}</strong>
182
-
183
- Normally, when the Radius Parser encounters an undefined tag for a Context it raises an
184
- UndefinedTagError, but since we have defined #tag_missing on LazyContext the Parser now
185
- outputs a nicely formated error message when we parse a string that does not contain a
186
- valid tag.
187
-
188
-
189
- == Tag Bindings
190
-
191
- Radius passes a TagBinding into the block of the Context#define_tag method. The tag
192
- binding is useful for a number of tasks. A tag binding has an #expand instance method
193
- which processes a tag's contents and returns the result. It also has a #attr method
194
- which returns a hash of the attributes that were passed into the tag. TagBinding also
195
- contains the TagBinding#single? and TagBinding#double? methods which return true or false
196
- based on wether the tag is a container tag or not. More about the methods which are
197
- available on tag bindings can be found on the Radius::TagBinding documentation page.
198
-
199
-
200
- == Tag Binding Locals, Globals, and Context Sensitive Tags
201
-
202
- A TagBinding also contains two OpenStruct-like objects which are useful when developing
203
- tags. TagBinding#globals is useful for storing variables which you would like to be
204
- accessible to all tags:
205
-
206
- context.define_tag "inc" do |tag|
207
- tag.globals.count ||= 0
208
- tag.globals.count += 1
209
- end
210
-
211
- context.define_tag "count" do |tag|
212
- tag.globals.count || 0
213
- end
214
-
215
- TagBinding#locals mirrors the variables that are in TagBinding#globals, but allows child
216
- tags to redefine variables. This is valuable when defining context sensitive tags:
217
-
218
- require 'radius'
219
-
220
- class Person
221
- attr_accessor :name, :friend
222
- def initialize(name)
223
- @name = name
224
- end
225
- end
226
-
227
- jack = Person.new('Jack')
228
- jill = Person.new('Jill')
229
- jack.friend = jill
230
- jill.friend = jack
231
-
232
- context = Radius::Context.new do |c|
233
- c.define_tag "jack" do |tag|
234
- tag.locals.person = jack
235
- tag.expand
236
- end
237
- c.define_tag "jill" do |tag|
238
- tag.locals.person = jill
239
- tag.expand
240
- end
241
- c.define_tag "name" do |tag|
242
- tag.locals.person.name rescue tag.missing!
243
- end
244
- c.define_tag "friend" do |tag|
245
- tag.locals.person = tag.locals.person.friend rescue tag.missing!
246
- tag.expand
247
- end
248
- end
249
-
250
- parser = Radius::Parser.new(context, :tag_prefix => 'r')
251
-
252
- parser.parse('<r:jack:name />') #=> "Jack"
253
- parser.parse('<r:jill:name />') #=> "Jill"
254
- parser.parse('<r:jill:friend:name />') #=> "Jack"
255
- parser.parse('<r:jill:friend:friend:name />') #=> "Jack"
256
- parser.parse('<r:jill><r:friend:name /> and <r:name /></r:jill>') #=> "Jack and Jill"
257
- parser.parse('<r:name />') # raises an UndefinedTagError exception
258
-
259
- Notice how TagBinding#locals enables intelligent nesting. "<r:jill:name />" evaluates to
260
- "Jill", but "<r:jill:friend:name />" evaluates to "Jack". Locals loose scope as soon as
261
- the tag they were defined in closes. Globals on the other hand, never loose scope.
262
-
263
- The final line in the example above demonstrates that calling "<r:name />" raises a
264
- TagMissing error. This is because of the way the name tag was defined:
265
-
266
- tag.locals.person.name rescue tag.missing!
267
-
268
- If person is not defined on locals it will return nil. Calling #name on nil would normally
269
- raise a NoMethodError exception, but because of the 'rescue' clause the TagBinding#missing!
270
- method is called which fires off Context#tag_missing. By default Context#tag_missing raises
271
- a UndefinedTagError exception. The 'rescue tag.missing!' idiom is extremly useful for adding
272
- simple error checking to context sensitive tags.
273
-
274
-
275
- == Tag Specificity
276
-
277
- When Radius is presented with two tags that have the same name, but different nesting
278
- Radius uses an algorithm similar to the way winning rules are calculated in Cascading Style
279
- Sheets (CSS) to determine which definition should be used. Each time a tag is encountered
280
- in a template potential tags are assigned specificity values and the tag with the highest
281
- specificity wins.
282
-
283
- For example, given the following tag definitions:
284
-
285
- nesting
286
- extra:nesting
287
- parent:child:nesting
288
-
289
- And template:
290
-
291
- <r:parent:extra:child:nesting />
292
-
293
- Radius will calculate specificity values like this:
294
-
295
- nesting => 1.0.0.0
296
- extra:nesting => 1.0.1.0
297
- parent:child:nesting => 1.1.0.1
298
-
299
- Meaning that parent:child:nesting will win. If a template contained:
300
-
301
- <r:parent:child:extra:nesting />
302
-
303
- The following specificity values would be assigned to each of the tag definitions:
304
-
305
- nesting => 1.0.0.0
306
- extra:nesting => 1.1.0.0
307
- parent:child:nesting => 1.0.1.1
308
-
309
- Meaning that extra:nesting would win because it is more "specific".
310
-
311
- Values are assigned by assigning points to each of the tags from right to left.
312
- Given a tag found in a template with nesting four levels deep, the maximum
313
- specificity a tag could be assigned would be:
314
-
315
- 1.1.1.1
316
-
317
- One point for each of the levels.
318
-
319
- A deep understanding of tag specificity is not necessary to be effective with
320
- Radius. For the most part you will find that Radius resolves tags precisely the
321
- way that you would expect. If you find this section confusing forget about it and
322
- refer back to it if you find that tags are resolving differently from the way that
323
- you expected.
