Compilation

Sqrl.compile

Compiles a string into a template function. TypeDoc doc page

Syntax

Sqrl.compile (str, options)

// returns a function that can be called with (data, options, [cb])

// note: options must be a valid config object

See the page on options

Example

var myTemplate = "Hi, my name is {{it.name}}";

var compiled = Sqrl.compile(myTemplate);

// Returns a function:

// function anonymous(it,c,cb ) { var tR='';tR+='Hi, my name is ';tR+=c.l('F','e')(it.name);if(cb){cb(null,tR)} return tR }

compiled({ name: "Johnny Appleseed" }, Sqrl.defaultConfig);

//Returns "Hi, my name is Johnny Appleseed"

note

Many template engines offer you the option to Compile (which just renders your template) or Precompile (which turns your template into a function ahead of time). Squirrelly precompiles automatically, but is still faster than other engines.
