Public Class Methods

compile(source, options = {}) click to toggle source

Compiles an EJS template to a JavaScript function. The compiled function takes an optional argument, an object specifying local variables in the template. You can optionally pass the `:evaluation_pattern` and `:interpolation_pattern` options to `compile` if you want to specify a different tag syntax for the template.

EJS.compile("Hello <%= name %>")
# => "function(obj){...}"
# File lib/ejs.rb, line 34
def compile(source, options = {})
  source = source.dup

  js_escape!(source)
  replace_escape_tags!(source, options)
  replace_interpolation_tags!(source, options)
  replace_evaluation_tags!(source, options)
  "function(obj){var __p=[],print=function(){__p.push.apply(__p,arguments);};" +
    "with(obj||{}){__p.push('#{source}');}return __p.join('');}"
end
evaluate(template, locals = {}, options = {}) click to toggle source

Evaluates an EJS template with the given local variables and compiler options. You will need the ExecJS (github.com/sstephenson/execjs/) library and a JavaScript runtime available.

EJS.evaluate("Hello <%= name %>", :name => "world")
# => "Hello world"
# File lib/ejs.rb, line 53
def evaluate(template, locals = {}, options = {})
  require "execjs"
  context = ExecJS.compile("var evaluate = #{compile(template, options)}")
  context.call("evaluate", locals)
end
