#Thanks To [kino.razor](https://github.com/kinogam/kino.razor)
razor-tmpl is a template engine for JavaScript based on kino.razor
#razor-tmpl
razor-tmpl supports browser & node,this README gives the special part of node version,same functions to browser version can be found at :
Git Repository : https://github.com/magicdawn/razor-tmpl
#Install
use `npm install razor-tmpl`,
use `var razor = require("razor-tmpl");`
#use in Normal Node.js Program
once got reference to `razor`,it's same to the browser edition,see github projects
basics like `razor.render(String template,Object ViewBag)`
and `razor.renderFile/renderFileSync` are also available
#use in express mvc framework
1. register `.razor` ext to the razor-tmpl engine
```
app.engine(".razor",require('razor-tmpl')._express);
```
2. call res.render
```
app.get("/",function(req,res){
var ViewBag = {}; //it's ViewBag Data
ViewBag.layout = '';//specify the layout
res.render('index.razor',ViewBag)
});
```
#About layout
in express ,you can specify `layout` in ViewBag or in the view file
```
/views/
layouts/
layout.razor
index.razor
```
the index.razor content
```
@{
layout = 'layouts/layout.razor';
}
test1
@section("header"){
}
out of section, contents belogs to the body section
```
the view\layouts\layout.razor content
```
@(ViewBag.title)
@renderSection('header')
@renderBody()
```
this will give result like this
```
title_data
test1
out of section, contents belogs to the body section
```
###rule
1. normal contents fill it's layout's renderBody() part
2. @section('header') fill it's layout's renderSection('header') part
3. a layout file can use an other file as it's layout
4. and @include('includes/footer.razor') support
more exmaple see `test/` cases.
#advance
you can use `require` | `__dirname` | `__filename` in the view code
just treat the as a js file,and the `$result` variable stands for the render result
see `/test/高级测试/`
see [my_github_io_blog](http://magicdawn.github.io/2014/08/12/nodejs-module-require/#razor-directRenderSync)
now renderFile/renderFileSync both supports this
###command line tool
Because of this,you got a command line tool `razor`,use
`npm i razor-tmpl -g` , then type `razor` for help
```
C:\Users\Administrator>razor
razor file [output]
file : split with ',' , and razor ext can be ignored , such as a,b,c
output : to set the output,default is no-output
example :
razor xxx.razor -> no-output
razor xxx.razor xxx.abc -> xxx.abc
razor xxx.razor abc -> xxx.abc
razor a,b,c css -> a.css,b.css,c.css
razor xxx.razor output_dir/ -> output_dir/xxx.html
razor xxx.razor output_dir/%s.css -> output_dir/xxx.css
output can also be specified with @{ var dest = 'dest_path'; }
```
中文环境的输出
```
C:\Users\Administrator>razor
razor file [output]
file 表示模版文件,使用,分隔,可以省略razor后缀,如a,b,c
output 表示输出内容,默认无输出
示例 :
razor xxx.razor -> 无输出
razor xxx.razor xxx.abc -> xxx.abc
razor xxx.razor abc -> xxx.abc
razor a,b,c css -> a.css,b.css,c.css
razor xxx.razor output_dir/ -> output_dir/xxx.html
razor xxx.razor output_dir/%s.css -> output_dir/xxx.css
output 还可以在模板里用 @{ var dest = 'dest_path'; } 指定
```
