Hi, I receive the following error when a variable in the template is undefined: ReferenceError: X is not defined. I know this is expected functionality, however it would nice to be able to test for this within the template so it doesn't throw the error. Is this doable currently or can it be added in the future?

Hi, I tried this:

var kiwi = require('kiwi');

kiwi.Template('Hello ${name}', { cache : false }).render({ name : 'panosru'}, function (err, output) {
  console.log(output);
});

and I got this:

/home/admin/domains/med-app.av/public_html/kiwi/kiwi.js:3
kiwi.Template('Hello ${name}', { cache : false }).render({ name : 'panosru'}, 
                                                  ^

if I remove the { cache : false } I also get this:

/home/admin/domains/med-app.av/public_html/kiwi/node_modules/kiwi/lib/template.js:95
  if(options.cache && !(this._getCache() instanceof options.cacheHandler)) {
                             ^

If you try to use the code specified in the Usage > Loading a template from disk section, it fails with a Cannot call method 'render' of undefined message on node 0.8.18.

It seems that trying to run a method on a variable being defined in this case fails, and the template must be instantiated by kiwi beforehand, as such:

// proposed fix
var template = new kiwi.Template();
template.loadFile('template.kiwi', function onLoaded(err) {
  template.render({ name: "Kiwi" }, function onRendered(err, rendered) {
    console.log('Rendered template is: ' + rendered);
  });
});

I cant for the life of me figure how to (or even if its possible) include a template from a child folder

File structure is like:
/views/index.kiwi
/views/partials/header.kiwi

and then I'm trying:
// index.kiwi
{{include "partials/header"}}

Hi,
I am trying to create a custom filter to format JSON. I have tried to create the filter two ways and both fail with the same error. I tried the method shown in the docs:

This is just a test function and really does nothing.

Kiwi.tools.createFilter('json_format', function(str){
    console.log(str);
return str.toUpperCase(); 
});

I also tried adding a new function to /libs/filters/base.js

exports.json_filter = function(str) {
     console.log(str);
    return str.toUpperCase(); 
};

I then use it in the template like this:

<div class="test interactive" title="Click to run the Alias">${test.test|json_filter}</div>

The error output is the same in both cases.

/home/swright/code/noschema_cp/node_modules/kiwi/lib/tags/print.js:163
                     filter[1] = filter[1].replace('"', '\"');

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to feed an array of objects to {{each}} tag. and then read the properties of the objects

for example

var item1 = {title : "Hi", content : "Hola" };
var item2 = {title : "Hello", content : "Buenos" };

response.render("index", posts = [item1, item2]);

in kiwi

{{each posts}}
<p>title is ${value.title} and content is ${value.content}</p>
{{/each}}

I love the kiwi syntax but in order to make it really useful I need layouts, blocks, etc, similar to how RandomETC/ejs-locals works. Any plans for that?

I miss the ability to set a variable as is. for example:

{{set $oldValue null}}
{{each entities}}
{if $oldValue && $oldValue.someTerm == true}} Do Something {{/if}}
{{set $oldValue $value}}
{{/each}}

I like to build a custom tag with an opening and closing tag but can not find a option to set this.
Just got the error: "Tokenization error: test is not a block tag."

kiwi.tools.createSimpleTag('test', function(context, name) {
    return name;
});

{{test "123"}}Content{{/test}}

If there is already an option to do that, please update the readme. Else it would be a great feature!

Hi, prepend and append work in opposite direction from which they supposed to work.

For instance:

main.kiwi

{{block foobar}}foo{{/block}}

child1.kiwi

{{block foobar append}} bar{{/block}}

child2.kiwi

{{block foobar prepend}}bar {{/block}}

child1.kiwi supposed to return foo bar but it returns barfoo similar issue happens with child2.kiwi

oops, there was an error: TypeError: Property 'engine' of object # is not a function

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!!!!

(coffeescript syntax):

express = require('express')
kiwi = require('kiwi')

app = express()
app.set('views', __dirname + '/html')
app.engine('kiwi', kiwi.__express)
app.set('view engine', 'kiwi')

app.get('/', (request, response) ->
    response.send('hello world by express')
)

app.get('/console', (request, response) ->
    response.render('console.html', {}, (err, rendered) ->
        if err
            response.send('oops, there was an error: ' + err)
        else
            response.send('rendered: ' + rendered)
    )
)

app.listen(4000)
```javascript

Hey guys, thanks for your amazing work with kiwi. It's really awesome!

I would like to ask, if possible, to give more flexibility in the tags, for example, allow spacing between {{ and the tag name... that would make the code cleaner.

For example:

{{include "template"}} // works
{{ include "template" }} // doesn't work

Thanks again!

Hello, first of all I want to agree you for your Kiwi template engine, it's very good and satisfies most of all needs that I have. This is a great job!

I want to comment you one issue that I'm having with the template engine. In one development I have to to include one javascript file or render it inline according to a variable... and I think that template system crashes.

This is the example code where I've got this issue:

{{if params.presentation._render_inline}}
    <script type="text/javascript">{{include "_mini_framework"}}</script>
{{else}}
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://xxxxxx/js/mini_framework.js"></script>
{{/if}}

mini_framework.js is a symlink of _mini_framework(.kiwi).

And when I try to execute this code I've got an syntax error at compiler.js file (the trace is SyntaxError: Unexpected token else, at Object.Function (unknown source), at onCompiled (/yyyyyyy/node_modules/kiwi/lib/compiler.js:70:16), )

Is it an issue, the system doesn't have this feature or I'm missing something (it's the most probable)?

Regards,
L.

Ability to set a locals vars for inner template file.
For example:

{{each rows}}
{{include item=$value type="top"}}
{{/each}}

Hi,
I am having a really difficult time outputting a complex list of data. I was wondering if you would mind pointing me in the right direction. I have an object of objects that contain an array of objects. I cant seem to figure out the right combination of kiwi eachs to use to create an HTML UL from this. I figured I would try the raw tag and just do it in Javascript but the script tag make Kiwi throw an error.

Here is a sample of my data structure:

"monitoring": [
    {
        "Monitoring Most Recent Feed": [
            {
                "resultCode": "NO TESTS FOUND"
            }
        ]
    }
],
"cloud_sandbox": [
    {
        "Cloud Sandbox File": [
            {
                "test": "noname",
                "resultCode": 200
            },
            {
                "test": "noname",
                "resultCode": 200
            }
        ]
    }
],

Here is what I want the output to be:

    <ul>
        <li>monitoring</li>
            <ul>
                <li>Monitoring Most Recent Feed</li>
                    <ul>
                        <li>resultCode: NO TESTS FOUND</li>
                    </ul>
            </ul>
        <li>cloud_sandbox</li>
            <ul>
                <li>Cloud Sandbox File</li>
                    <ul>
                        <li>test: noname</li>
                        <li>resultCode: 200</li>
                    </ul>
                    <ul>
                        <li>test: namename</li>
                        <li>resultCode: 200</li>
                    </ul>
            </ul>
    </ul>

Any advice you may have to help achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

Hello there!

Awesome idea, but what about async functions inside the template? It would be wonderfully off we could call some tag that extract info from the db and add to the view, for example :)

Hi,
I am having a problem with the each loops.

If I remove the inner loop then the conditional that evaluates _eachLoop.last works correctly in that it identifies the final iteration.

If I put it back in then the conditional seems to identify each of the inner loops iterations as the final iteration.

My goal is to iterate the following structure outputting headings and a list of values for each heading.

data : {
    "heading1" : [ 'item1', 'item2', 'item3' ],
    "heading2" : [ 'item1', 'item2', 'item3' ],
}

Where am I going wrong?

<div class="row show-grid">
    {{each data}}
        {{as namespace}}${$index}{{/as}}

        {{if _eachLoop.first }}
        <div class="span3">
        {{/if}}

        <h3>${$index}</h3>

        {{each $value}}
        <div><a href="/alias_tests/alias/${namespace}${$value}">${$value}</a></div>
        {{/each}}

        {{if _eachLoop.last }}
        </div>
        {{/if}}
    {{/each}}
</div>

Thanks for the help.

Hi, would it be possible to support macros ?

{{if x}}
  {{include 'item'}}
{{/if}}

And I get the following

SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
    at Object.Function (<anonymous>)
    at onCompiled (/Users/ckknight/Development/project/node_modules/kiwi/lib/compiler.js:73:14)

    ...

It also fails with an else clause.

Hello,
trying to get Kiwi and Express setup. I followed the "out of the box" setup as shown but I am getting an error. I am hoping you can help me out.

Here is my main file:

/*

• Create the server object
  /
  var Server = Express.createServer();
  //Server.set("views", __dirname + '/' + Config.pathToViews);
  Server.set("view engine", "kiwi");
  /*
• Setup a route for main page
• http://:<port/
• */
  Server.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.render('index', {});
  });

Server.listen(Config.server.port); // Start the party

Here is the content of my views directory:

[swright@swright-dev control_panel]$ ll views/
total 4

Hi I added the following work around, as I was unable to load templates from full paths when debugging on a windows box.
Quick and dirty but worked for me.

if(name[0] === '/' || name[1]=== ':')

utils.js line 71

thanks for kiwi.

for example:

// foo.kiwi
{{block greeting}}Hello{{/block}}

// Template
{{extend "foo"}}
{{block greeting}}Hi, {{parent}} World{{/block}}

// Code
new Template(tpl).render({}, callback);

// Result
Hi, Hello World

From the docs raw filter is mentioned but when I try to use it I get Error: Rendering error: Unknown filter raw. from what I see in the source of Kiwi under lib/filters/base.js raw filter is not present.

Hi,
Engine looks great so far. In your examples you have this which actually fails because 'name' is undefined:

{{if name}} Hello, ${name|capitalize}! {{else}} Hello, dear unknown! {{/if}}

Should be something like this:

{{if typeof(name) != 'undefined'}} Hello, ${name|capitalize}! {{else}} Hello, dear unknown! {{/if}}

Hi, I use Kiwi as my primary server side templating engine and I also use Handlebars with EmberJS for client-side so I tried today to do something like this: ${'{{action anActionName}}'|raw} but I got SyntaxError: Unexpected token } this works: {{raw}}{{action anActionName}}{{/raw}} but I think that the first should also work since I pass the raw filter.

Thanks :)

Reproducible code:

kiwi.js:

var kiwi = require('kiwi');

var template = new kiwi.Template('{{extend "template"}} {{block welcome append}} ${name}{{/block}}', { cache : false, path : __dirname + '/template.kiwi' });
template.render({name : 'panosru'}, function (err, output) { 
  if (err) { console.log(err); return; }
  console.log(output.trim());
});

template.kiwi:

{{block welcome}}
Hello
{{/block}}

Output:

root@dev:/home/admin/example/kiwi# node kiwi.js 
[Error: Compilation error: Unable to parse tag `block welcome append`.]

When not passing a variable to the render function, say

response.render("index", {});

and when using {{if foo}} in the template

the template fails to render. I think in such cases foo should just default to false.
