== About Erubis
Erubis is an implementation of eRuby. It has the following features.
- Very fast, almost three times faster than ERB and even 10% faster than eruby
- Multi-language support (Ruby/PHP/C/Java/Scheme/Perl/Javascript)
- Auto escaping support
- Auto trimming spaces around '<% %>'
- Embedded pattern changeable (default '<% %>')
- Enable to handle Processing Instructions (PI) as embedded pattern (ex. '')
- Context object available and easy to combine eRuby template with YAML datafile
- Print statement available
- Easy to extend and customize in subclass
- Ruby on Rails support
Erubis is implemented in pure Ruby. It requires Ruby 1.8 or higher. Erubis now supports Ruby 1.9.
See doc/users-guide.html for details.
== Installation
-
If you have installed RubyGems, just type gem install erubis.
$ sudo gem install erubis
-
Else install abstract[http://rubyforge.org/projects/abstract/] at first, and download erubis_X.X.X.tar.bz2 and install it by setup.rb.
$ tar xjf abstract_X.X.X.tar.bz2 $ cd abstract_X.X.X/ $ sudo ruby setup.rb $ cd .. $ tar xjf erubis_X.X.X.tar.bz2 $ cd erubis_X.X.X/ $ sudo ruby setup.rb
-
(Optional) It is able to merge 'lib/**/*.rb' into 'bin/erubis' by 'contrib/inline-require' script.
$ tar xjf erubis_X.X.X.tar.bz2 $ cd erubis_X.X.X/ $ cp /tmp/abstract_X.X.X/lib/abstract.rb lib $ unset RUBYLIB $ contrib/inline-require -I lib bin/erubis > contrib/erubis
== Ruby on Rails Support
Erubis supports Ruby on Rails. All you have to do is to add the following code into your 'config/environment.rb' and restart web server.
require 'erubis/helpers/rails_helper'
#Erubis::Helpers::RailsHelper.engine_class = Erubis::Eruby
#Erubis::Helpers::RailsHelper.init_properties = {}
#Erubis::Helpers::RailsHelper.show_src = nil
If Erubis::Helpers::RailsHelper.show_src is ture, Erubis prints converted Ruby code into log file ('log/development.log' or so). It is useful for debug.
== Exploring Guide
If you are exploring Eruby, see the following class at first.
- Erubis::TinyEruby (erubis/tiny.rb) -- the most simple eRuby implementation.
- Erubis::Engine (erubis/engine.rb) -- base class of Eruby, Ephp, Ejava, and so on.
- Erubis::Eruby (erubis/engine/eruby.rb) -- engine class for eRuby.
- Erubis::Converter (erubis/converter.rb) -- convert eRuby script into Ruby code.
