The core section is the part that contains the minimum vital functions to make Templeet work.

The following functions are available:

˜set and ˜get : To set and get a variable.
˜rem : To insert a comment in Templeet code.
˜include : To include a file or template.
˜eval : To evaluate some Templeet code.
˜if : To make a test.
˜while : To loop.
˜empty : To test argument emptyness.
˜equal : To test arguments equality.
˜notequal : To test arguments inequality.
˜and : Logical AND.
˜executedtime

˜set and ˜get

These functions are used to handle variables. ˜set() takes 2 arguments, the variable name and the value to set the variable. ˜get() takes only one argument which is the name of the variable to get the value.

˜set('myvariable', 'I\'m a test')		

˜get('myvariable')				=> 	I'm a test

˜rem

This function allows you to comment your code.
Thou Shalt Comment Your Code.

˜rem("The approach is a bit ugly but it works...")

include

The include function allows to include a file or an other template. Path is relative to the current template directory.
Some parameters can be passed to ˜include() function. They can be retrieved in the included template with the ˜parseparam() function.

˜include('file.txt',"1st parameter", 10)

When that function is used in the "template/example.tmpl" template then "template/file.txt" will be included. It can itself contain Templeet functions. Parameters set in the include function can be retrieved. For example ˜parseparam(1) returns "1st parameter" (whitout the double quotes) and ˜parseparam(2) returns "10".

eval

This function evaluates some Templeet code. Thus, a template can dynamically generate some code and set into a variable to be evaluated later.

˜eval('˜set('foo',10) ˜get('foo')')

That command sets "10" to variable "foo", and returns the content of that same variable.

if

The if function makes a test. If the first parameter is true then evaluation of the second parameter is returned, else, if it exists, the evaluation of the third parameter is returned.

˜if(1<2,"It's true!","It's false!")

Previous example returns "It's true!".

Back to top

while

It evaluates the second parameter while the first evaluates to true.

˜set('counter',1)
˜while(˜get('counter')<=3,
	'we count ... ˜get('counter')<br/>
	˜set('counter',˜get('counter')+1)')

we count ... 1
we count ... 2
we count ... 3

Logical AND

˜and(2,3)			=>	1

˜and(0,3)			=>

executedtime

This function returns the time taken in seconds for template evaluation. It doesn't take any parameters.

˜executedtime()			=>	0.0503
