Ecs Renderer for RedHttpServer

The ecs renderer is a simple templating engine extension for RedHttpServer

Usage

After installing and referencing this library, the Red.Response has the extension method RenderPage(pageFilePath, parameters, ..).

The pageFilePath must be the path of a .ecs file.

The .ecs file format

The .ecs file format is an extension used for html pages with ecs-tags.

Tags

  • <% foo %> will get replaced with the text data in the RenderParams object passed to the renderer

  • <%= foo =%> will get replaced with a HTML encoded version of the text data in the RenderParams object passed to the renderer

  • <%- files/footer.html -%> will get replaced with the content of the file with the specified path. Can be both absolute or relative. Only html, ecs, js, css and txt is supported for now, but if you have a good reason to include another filetype, please create an issue regarding that.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Status page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <b>Uptime in minutes: <% uptime %></b></br>
    <b>Version: <% version %></b>
</body>
</html>
server.Get("/statuspage", async (req, res) =>
{
    await res.RenderPage("pages/statuspage.ecs", new RenderParams
    {
        { "uptime", DateTime.UtcNow.Subtract(startTime).TotalMinutes },
        { "version", RedHttpServer.Version }
    });
});

Could result in:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Status page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <b>Uptime in minutes: 42</b></br>
    <b>Version: 3.0.0</b>
</body>
</html>

The file extension is enforced to avoid confusion with regular html files without tags.

The format is somewhat inspired by the ejs format, though you cannot embed JavaScript, or C# for that matter, in the pages.

Embed your dynamic content using RenderParams instead of embedding the code for generation of the content in the html.
