Jade is a high
performance template engine heavily influenced by Haml. The
rjade package interfaces to the JavaScript library using
V8, the embedded JavaScript engine for R. Below an example of a Jade
template, taken from the jade
homepage. This example template includes one variable called
youAreUsingJade.
doctype html
html(lang="en")
head
title= pageTitle
script(type='text/javascript').
if (foo) {
bar(1 + 5)
}
body
h1 Jade - node template engine
#container.col
if youAreUsingJade
p You are amazing
else
p Get on it!
p.
Jade is a terse and simple
templating language with a
strong focus on performance
and powerful features.Converting a template to HTML text involves two steps. The first step
compiles the template with some formatting options into a closure. The
binding for this is implemented in jade_compile.
# Compile a Jade template in R
text <- readLines(system.file("examples/test.jade", package = "rjade"))
tpl <- jade_compile(text, pretty = TRUE)The second step calls the closure with optionally some local variables to render the output to HTML.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (foo) {
bar(1 + 5)
}
</script>
