Public Class Methods
# File lib/erb.rb, line 827 def initialize(str, safe_level=nil, trim_mode=nil, eoutvar='_erbout') @safe_level = safe_level compiler = make_compiler(trim_mode) set_eoutvar(compiler, eoutvar) @src, @encoding, @frozen_string = *compiler.compile(str) @filename = nil @lineno = 0 end
Constructs a new ERB object with the template specified in str.
An ERB object works by building a chunk of Ruby code that will output the completed template when run. If safe_level is set to a non-nil value, ERB code will be run in a separate thread with $SAFE set to the provided level.
If trim_mode is passed a String containing one or more of the following modifiers, ERB will adjust its code generation as listed:
% enables Ruby code processing for lines beginning with % <> omit newline for lines starting with <% and ending in %> > omit newline for lines ending in %> - omit blank lines ending in -%>
eoutvar can be used to set the name of the variable ERB will build up its output in. This is useful when you need to run multiple ERB templates through the same binding and/or when you want to control where output ends up. Pass the name of the variable to be used inside a String.
Example
require "erb" # build data class class Listings PRODUCT = { :name => "Chicken Fried Steak", :desc => "A well messages pattie, breaded and fried.", :cost => 9.95 } attr_reader :product, :price def initialize( product = "", price = "" ) @product = product @price = price end def build b = binding # create and run templates, filling member data variables ERB.new(" <%= PRODUCT[:name] %> <%= PRODUCT[:desc] %> ".gsub(/^\s+/, ""), 0, "", "@product").result b ERB.new(" <%= PRODUCT[:name] %> -- <%= PRODUCT[:cost] %> <%= PRODUCT[:desc] %> ".gsub(/^\s+/, ""), 0, "", "@price").result b end end # setup template data listings = Listings.new listings.build puts listings.product + "\n" + listings.price
Generates
Chicken Fried Steak A well messages pattie, breaded and fried. Chicken Fried Steak -- 9.95 A well messages pattie, breaded and fried.
# File lib/erb.rb, line 263 def self.version "erb.rb [2.1.0 #{ERB::Revision.split[1]}]" end
Returns revision information for the erb.rb module.
Public Instance Methods
# File lib/erb.rb, line 950 def def_class(superklass=Object, methodname='result') cls = Class.new(superklass) def_method(cls, methodname, @filename || '(ERB)') cls end
Define unnamed class which has methodname as instance method, and return it.
example:
class MyClass_ def initialize(arg1, arg2) @arg1 = arg1; @arg2 = arg2 end end filename = 'example.rhtml' # @arg1 and @arg2 are used in example.rhtml erb = ERB.new(File.read(filename)) erb.filename = filename MyClass = erb.def_class(MyClass_, 'render()') print MyClass.new('foo', 123).render()
# File lib/erb.rb, line 914 def def_method(mod, methodname, fname='(ERB)') src = self.src.sub(/^(?!#|$)/) {"def #{methodname}\n"} << "\nend\n" mod.module_eval do eval(src, binding, fname, -1) end end
Define methodname as instance method of mod from compiled Ruby source.
example:
filename = 'example.rhtml' # 'arg1' and 'arg2' are used in example.rhtml erb = ERB.new(File.read(filename)) erb.def_method(MyClass, 'render(arg1, arg2)', filename) print MyClass.new.render('foo', 123)
# File lib/erb.rb, line 931 def def_module(methodname='erb') mod = Module.new def_method(mod, methodname, @filename || '(ERB)') mod end
Create unnamed module, define methodname as instance method of it, and return it.
example:
filename = 'example.rhtml' # 'arg1' and 'arg2' are used in example.rhtml erb = ERB.new(File.read(filename)) erb.filename = filename MyModule = erb.def_module('render(arg1, arg2)') class MyClass include MyModule end
# File lib/erb.rb, line 857 def location=((filename, lineno)) @filename = filename @lineno = lineno if lineno end
# File lib/erb.rb, line 839 def make_compiler(trim_mode) ERB::Compiler.new(trim_mode) end
Creates a new compiler for ERB. See ERB::Compiler.new for details
# File lib/erb.rb, line 887 def result(b=new_toplevel) if @safe_level proc { $SAFE = @safe_level eval(@src, b, (@filename || '(erb)'), @lineno) }.call else eval(@src, b, (@filename || '(erb)'), @lineno) end end
Executes the generated ERB code to produce a completed template, returning the results of that code. (See ::new for details on how this process can be affected by safe_level.)
b accepts a Binding object which is used to set the context of code evaluation.
# File lib/erb.rb, line 875 def run(b=new_toplevel) print self.result(b) end
Generate results and print them. (see #result)
# File lib/erb.rb, line 867 def set_eoutvar(compiler, eoutvar = '_erbout') compiler.put_cmd = "#{eoutvar}.concat" compiler.insert_cmd = "#{eoutvar}.concat" compiler.pre_cmd = ["#{eoutvar} = String.new"] compiler.post_cmd = ["#{eoutvar}.force_encoding(__ENCODING__)"] end
Can be used to set eoutvar as described in ::new. It's probably easier to just use the constructor though, since calling this method requires the setup of an ERB compiler object.
Private Instance Methods
# File lib/erb.rb, line 902 def new_toplevel TOPLEVEL_BINDING.dup end
Returns a new binding each time near TOPLEVEL_BINDING for runs that do not specify a binding.
