# Simplates for Elixir

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/LawfulGood/simplates.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/LawfulGood/simplates)

[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/LawfulGood/simplates/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/LawfulGood/simplates?branch=master)

Simplates are a file format for server-side web programming. Used currently in [Infuse](https://github.com/LawfulGood/infuse).

This repository is my future spec for [simplates.org](http://simplates.org/)

## Why Simplates? 

Mixing code into templates leads to unmaintainable spaghetti. On the other 

hand, putting closely-related templates and code in completely separate 

subdirectories makes it painful to switch back and forth.

Simplates improve web development by bringing code and templates as close 

together as possible, _without_ mixing them.

## What does a Simplate look like?

Here's an example: 

```

  program = "hellö"

  excitement = :rand.uniform(100)

  
<%= hello %>, program, my favorite number is <%= num %>


```

## Installation

  1. Add `simplates` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

    ```elixir

    def deps do

      [{:simplates, "~> 0.4.0"}]

    end

    ```

  2. Ensure `simplates` is started before your application:

    ```elixir

    def application do

      [applications: [:simplates]]

    end

    ```

  

  3. Create & render like so

  

    ```elixir

    page = Simplates.Simplate.create_from_string("\nHello\n")

    {output, _} = Simplates.Simplate.render(page, "text/plain")

    ```
