Rocket/contrib/dyn_templates/README.md
Sergio Benitez 5a4e66ec43 Split 'rocket_contrib' into distinct crates.
This follows the completed graduation of stable contrib features into
core, removing 'rocket_contrib' in its entirety in favor of two new
crates. These crates are versioned independently of Rocket's core
libraries, allowing upgrades to dependencies without consideration for
versions in core libraries.

'rocket_dyn_templates' replaces the contrib 'templates' features. While
largely a 1-to-1 copy, it makes the following changes:

  * the 'tera_templates' feature is now 'tera'
  * the 'handlebars_templates' feature is now 'handlebars'
  * fails to compile if neither 'tera' nor 'handlebars' is enabled

'rocket_sync_db_pools' replaces the contrib 'database' features. It
makes no changes to the replaced features except that the `database`
attribute is properly documented at the crate root.

This crate adds support for dynamic template rendering to Rocket. It automatically discovers templates, provides a Responder to render templates, and automatically reloads templates when compiled in debug mode. At present, it supports Handlebars and Tera.

Usage

  1. Enable the rocket_dyn_templates feature corresponding to your templating engine(s) of choice:

    [dependencies.rocket_dyn_templates]
    version = "0.1.0-dev"
    default-features = false
    features = ["handlebars", "tera"]
    
  2. Write your template files in Handlebars (.hbs) and/or Tera (.tera) in the configurable template_dir directory (default: {rocket_root}/templates).

  3. Attach Template::fairing() and return a Template using Template::render(), supplying the name of the template file minus the last two extensions:

    use rocket_dyn_templates::Template;
    
    #[launch]
    fn rocket() -> _ {
        rocket::build().attach(Template::fairing())
    }
    
    #[get("/")]
    fn index() -> Template {
        Template::render("template-name", &context)
    }
