[Question] Support for Objects/Drops? about jinjava

[boulter]

There's no specialized model for this. Jinjava has access to all of the objects' methods. If you want to restrict access, you can create a DTO class that exposes only the methods/properties you want.

@boulter ok that sounds fine, is JinJava suitable to expose to end users in a SaaS setting? i.e. security / code execution wise? I know that Liquid takes special measures to make this possible but potentially that's down to Ruby's extremely dynamic nature. I can't foresee any issue with the approach you describe but would appreciate any input from a more experienced viewpoint.

[boulter]

We use Jinjava for hundreds of thousands of templates and pages at HubSpot (a SaaS company), so I'd say yes.

Ok brilliant, just making sure what I'm hoping to use it for is what its actually for. I appreciate your time answering those questions for me 👍
