TinyTemplate

a tiny tempalte engine that generate and fills xml like files
for example,given a template file,named 'example.template'

<table>
    <tr tiny-repeat='len(data)' tiny-repeat-index='row'>
        <td class='color-blue' tiny-data='data[row][0]'/>
        <td tiny-number='data[row][1]'/>
        <td tiny-percent='data[row][2]'/>
    </tr>
</table>

and style rule named 'example.style'

{
    "table":{
        "border":"dotted"
    },

    ".color-blue":{
        "color":"blue"
    }
}

with python code like

from tiny_template_engine import TinyRender
TinyRender().define('example.template').bind({
        'data':[
                [1,2,3,4],
                [5,6,7,8],
        ]
    }).render('example.style')

will output file like:

<table style='border:dotted;'>
    <tr >
        <td style='color:blue;'>1</td>
        <td >2</td>
        <td >300.00%</td>
    </tr>
    <tr >
        <td style='color:blue;'>5</td>
        <td >6</td>
        <td >700.00%</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Template Attribute Elements

• tiny-repeat
  generate number of elements specified by evaluated value.
  tiny-repeat-index provide a way to trake index of the evaluated elements.

• tiny-number
  render evalauted value to a 123,456.00 style.
  use tiny-force-integer to force round fractional part.
  use tiny-color whan one needs a positive number to be in red color and negetive value in green.
  one can change the color styling by specify tiny-positive-number and tiny-negetive-number in style file.

• tiny-data
  fill content with evaluated raw string presentation.

• tiny-percent
  render numbers in percent format,like 87.53%.
  default with color style similar to tiny-color.but can be disable with extra tiny-default-color

Plugale Template Driver

One can extend the default TineDataDriver to add extra process property to this template engine.

for example,this repo ships with a GenerateTable driver in table_generato.py, which provide a tiny-bot attribute to help generate table.

by given tempalte:

<table tiny-bot='test_bot'/> 

and python configuration

bot = TableGenerator()
header = [
    ('header0',None),
    ('header1',[
        ('header2',None),
        ('header3',None),
    ]),
    ('header4',[('header5',None)]),
]
formats = [
    "tiny-number='__VALUE__'",
    "tiny-percent='__VALUE__'",
    "tiny-default-color='' tiny-percent='__VALUE__'",
    "tiny-force-integer='' tiny-number='__VALUE__'",
    ]

TinyRender().driver(bot).define('example.template').bind({
    'test_bot':{
        'header':header,
        'data':[[1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8]],
        'format':formats
    },
}).render()

will generat table like

<table >
    <thead >
        <tr >
            <td rowspan='2' class='color-group-1'>header0</td>
            <td colspan='2' class='color-group-2'>header1</td>
            <td class='color-group-3'>header4</td>
        </tr>
        <tr >
            <td class='color-group-4'>header2</td>
            <td class='color-group-5'>header3</td>
            <td class='color-group-6'>header5</td>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody >
        <tr >
            <td class='color-group-1'>1</td>
            <td class='color-group-4 tiny-positive-number'>200.00%</td>
            <td class='color-group-5'>300.00%</td>
            <td class='color-group-6'>4</td>
        </tr>
        <tr >
            <td class='color-group-1'>5</td>
            <td class='color-group-4 tiny-positive-number'>600.00%</td>
            <td class='color-group-5'>700.00%</td>
            <td class='color-group-6'>8</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
