# Solid [![Build Status](https://github.com/edgurgel/solid/workflows/CI/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/edgurgel/solid/actions?query=workflow%3ACI)

Solid is an implementation in Elixir of the template engine Liquid. It uses [nimble_parsec](https://github.com/plataformatec/nimble_parsec) to generate the parser.

## Basic Usage

```elixir
iex> template = "My name is {{ user.name }}"
iex> {:ok, template} = Solid.parse(template)
iex> Solid.render(template, %{ "user" => %{ "name" => "José" } }) |> to_string
"My name is José"
```

## Installation

The package can be installed with:

```elixir
def deps do
  [{:solid, "~> 0.10"}]
end
```

## Custom tags

To implement a new tag you need to create a new module that implements the `Tag` behaviour:

```elixir
defmodule MyCustomTag do
  import NimbleParsec
  @behaviour Solid.Tag

  @impl true
  def spec(_parser) do
    space = Solid.Parser.Literal.whitespace(min: 0)

    ignore(string("{%"))
    |> ignore(space)
    |> ignore(string("my_tag"))
    |> ignore(space)
    |> ignore(string("%}"))
  end

  @impl true
  def render(tag, _context, _options) do
    [text: "my first tag"]
  end
end
```

- `spec` defines how to parse your tag;
- `render` defines how to render your tag.

Now we need to add the tag to the parser

```
defmodule MyParser do
  use Solid.Parser.Base, custom_tags: [MyCustomTag]
end
```

And finally pass the custom parser as an option:

```elixir
"{% my_tag %}"
|> Solid.parse!(parser: MyParser)
|> Solid.render()
```

## Contributing

When adding new functionality or fixing bugs consider adding a new test case here inside `test/cases`. These cases are tested against the Ruby gem so we can try to stay as close as possible to the original implementation.
