Sergio Benitez 0b2fcb9f4b Use Figment's 'Value' in contrib templating.
Previously, 'serde_json::Value' was used to store the serialized
template context. This value does not represent all of serde's data
model. This means we may fail to serialize a valid Rust value into it,
for instance, 128-bit integers. This is reduced with Figment's 'Value',
which supports the majority if not all of the serde data model.

At present, all supported templating engines use 'serde_json::Value', so
in practice, this commit has no effect but to reduce local dependencies
and provide better error messages for bad contexts.

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-rc.1"
    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)
    }
