# Tumble - Generalized, hyper-simple templating engine
## Purpose
I like Tumblr's templating system, with its simplicity and brevity.
The idea that, for small projects, one should embed everything in a
single page and switch sections on and off as needed appeals to me, so
I decided to write my own implementation of the Tumblr parser.
Tumble is an implementation of the Tumblr parser/compiler/renderer,
with keyword substitutions suitable to my needs on my story website.
The idea is that the database side will produce an object consisting
of the title of a series
of variable, object, and array substitutions, and that the
corresponding template will describe how to unpack and illustrate that
object.
## Usage
There are five kinds of objects in my templating language: plain text,
variables, "if", "block", and "many" sections.
### Plain Text
Plain text is just that, the text of your template without any
substitutions.
### Variable
Tumble tags are contained in { } entries. Sadly, there's no current
way to escape this.
A variable is a Tumble tag without a colon in it. It refers to a valid
name in the current context scope (more on that below) that is either
a string or a number.
### If
An "if:<name>" section can contain other objects, but the entirety of
the section is only rendered if the current context scope contains the
current name, and the value associated with that name is "true" in a
boolean context. You might use to show someone's name, if the name
field is populated, and show nothing if it isn't.
If your datasource returns:
obj = { "name": "Mr. Smith"}
Then your template would use:
{if:name}Hello {name}!{/if:name}
### Block
A "block:<name>" section can contain other objects, but the entirety
of the section is only rendered if the current context scope contains
the current name, a value exists for that name, and the value is an
object itself. When the block is entered, the object referred to
becomes the top of the current context scope. You might use it to
render "next/prev" blocks in a webcomic.
If your datasource returns:
obj = { "next": {"title": "The Next Story"},
"prev": {"title": "The Previous Story"}}
Then your template would use:
{block:next}The next story is entitled {title}{/block:next}
{block:prev}The next story is entitled {title}{/block:prev}
### Many
A "many:<name>" section can contain other objects, but the entirety of
the section is only rendered if the current context scope contains the
current name, a value exists for that name, and the value is an array
that itself contains objects. When the block is entered, each object
in the named array is serially made the top object of the current
context scope, the section is rendered, and the object is popped off
the context scope stack once more. You might use it to render a
series of titles in a series:
If your datasource returns:
obj = {
"series":
[ {"title": "A Story"},
{"title": "A Second Story"},
{"title": "A Third Story"}
]
}
Then you could render a list of your stories this way:
{if:series}
<h1>Table of Contents:</h1>
<ul>
{many:series}<li>{title}</li>{/many:series}
</ul>
{/if:series}
block:Series
Must be found within a block:toc
It must contain the special tag {titles} as a child tag.
### The current context scope
This will be rendered if this is a series page.
The Tumble parser is intended to render a website for series and
stories. Both of which have titles, so you might have an object that
says:
block:Subseries
obj = {
title: "An awesome series",
author: "Twilight Sparkle",
stories: [{title: "The first awesome story"},
{title: "The second awesome story"}]
}
Must be found within a block:toc
It must contain the special tag {titles} as a child tag.
In both "block" and "many", the current context descends into these
objects in a deterministic way. While inside a block or many, when
searching for a variable substitution (and *only* variable
substitutions), the context handler will scan upwards from the current
context scope to the root to find a possible substitution.
This will be rendered for any subseries of the main series. This
will recurse to a maximum depth of four. Users can use clever CSS
to make this look awesome. There may be settings in the database
that prevent subseries recursion deliberately.
For example
block:Story
Has two meanings, based on context.
<h1>{title}</h1>
{if:stories}
<p>Table of Contents:</p>
<ul>
{many:stories}<li>{title} by {author}</li>{/many:stories}
</ul>
{/if:stories}
If it is found in the *document* (i.e. *not* within a , it is treated at a story block,
and will only be rendered if this is a story page.
The first "title" will be the series title, but the titles in the
"many" block will be story titles, in order. Because each story does
not have an "author" block, the context will scan up to the parent
scope and find the author's name.
If it is found in a *series* or *subseries* block, it's contents
are rendered during the rendering of a series or subseries for
each story found.
## Requirements
block:Next
Valid only in a block:story
Will render if there is a "next" story in the parent series.
nodejs & npm.
block:Prev
Valid only in a block:story
Will render if there is a "previous" story in the parent series.
Underscore is a dependency.
block:Title
Will render if there is a title in the current context
PegJS is a required build tool. Mocha & Chai are used for testing.
block:Blurb
Will render if there is a blurb.
All of these are specified in the package.json file.
block:Excerpt
Will render if there is an excerpt

MainSeriesTitle
The title of the top-level series for the current page.
AuthorsName
Blurb
Valid in a series or series/story
Excerpt
Valid in a series or series/story
URL
Context-sensitive. In a Story, refers to the URL used to access
that story. In a Next or Prev, refers to the URL of the next or
previous story, respectively.
SeriesURL
MainSeriesURL
AuthorsURL
# {block:Series}{URL}{Title}{Contents}{/block:Series}
# > Handle these first
Minus the actual content of a template, the HTML that we use to build
every page, a document tends to look like this:
{URL}
{SeriesTitle}
{AuthorName}
{AuthorDescription}
{block:IfSeries}
{Title}
{Description}
{block:TableOfContents}
{block:Story}{URL}{Title}{/block:Story}
{/block:TableOfContents}
{/block:IfSeries}
The important trick here is that the TableOfContents will be recursed
wherever the {Contents} block is seen, up to a maximum depth of four.
IfContents will be true if this is a subseries and there is content of
a subseries; the reason for this is to prevent the rendering of an
empty subseries.
{block:IfStory}
{Title}
{Body}
{block:Next}{URL}{Title}{/block:Next}
{block:Prev}{URL}{Title}{/block:Prev}
{Pubdate}
