estools / estemplate Goto Github PK

According to the docs, estemplate does support regular array templating. But what if I want to template an associative array? (object, or dictionary)

Does it support something like:
var a = {%= elements %};

If it doesn't, would it be too hard for someone (e.g.: me) to pick up a fork and implement it?

I'm using this through gulp-wrap-js and I have one step wrapping my files in IIFEs. Today, I added another one before that, adding some boilerplate code to a specific file, like so:

gulp.src('**/*.js')
.pipe(gulpIf(
    'special.js',
    wrapJs([
        'var boilerplate = {};',
        '%= body %'
    ].join('\n'))
))
.pipe(wrapJs([
    '(function () {',
    '"use strict";',
    '%= body %',
    '})();'
].join('\n')))
.pipe(gulp.dest('build/'))

That caused the error message "Unknown substitution in Program". I tracked that down and found that merely adding 'Program': 'body' to spread in estemplate.js fixes that with no apparent downside. Is there a specific reason that this use-case hasn't been covered, am I missing something?

Do you think this could lead to work to generate AST trees for language code blocks other than Javascript?

esprima 1.2.2 (large dep) -> 2.7.2
estraverse 1.7.1 -> 4.1.1

console.log(escodegen.generate(ast));

When I copy paste your simple usage, this line through me error. could add that reference

Hey!

Just wanted to leave a note, that the example:
define(function () { console.time('Module'); %= body %; console.timeEnd('Module'); });
does not work in conjunction with gulp-wrap-js. When I change the code to:
define(function () { console.time('Module'); {%= body %}; console.timeEnd('Module'); });
it works. Don't know if this is a bug in gulp-wrap-js or an error of the intro page.
