afEfanXtra::TemplateConverters

(Service) - Contribute functions to convert files into efan templates.

Some templates, such as Slim templates, need to be pre-processed / converted to efan notation before they can be compiled. To do this, a conversion function is looked up via the file extension. If no function is found, the file is assumed to be an efan template and read in as a simple string.

For example, to use Slim templates add the following to your AppModule:

using afIoc
using afSlim
using afEfanXtra

class AppModule {

  @Contribute { serviceType=TemplateConverters# }
  static Void contributeSlimTemplates(MappedConfig config, Slim slim) {
    config["slim"] = |File file -> Str| { slim.parseFromFile(file) }
  }
}

This will convert all files with a .slim extension to an efan template.

By default, a function is supplied that converts all files with a .fandoc extension into HTML.

@uses Mapped config of Str : |File->Str| - file ext to func that converts the file to an efan template
