Native Helpers API

Native helpers let you output code directly into your template function.

caution

Native helpers are complicated and kind of messy. If you can implement something with a regular helper, do that instead

Syntax

Examples

This is the if native helper, behind-the-scenes

Sqrl.nativeHelpers.define('if', function (buffer, env) {

// buffer.d is buffer content, in AST form

var returnStr =

'if(' + buffer.p + '){' + Sqrl.compileScope(buffer.d, env) + '}'

if (buffer.b) {

// b stands for blocks

// Loop through each helper block

for (var i = 0; i < buffer.b.length; i++) {

var currentBlock = buffer.b[i]

if (currentBlock.n === 'else') {

returnStr += 'else{' + Sqrl.compileScope(currentBlock.d, env) + '}'

} else if (currentBlock.n === 'elif') {

returnStr +=

'else if(' +

currentBlock.p +

'){' +

Sqrl.compileScope(currentBlock.d, env) +

'}'

}

}

}

return returnStr

})
