Template with JSON parameter about underscore-java HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi, Payas.

Thank you for your question. I will try to prepare a unit test and pull request with support json for the template method.

        $.templateSettings(new HashMap<String, String>() { { put("interpolate", "\\$\\{([\\s\\S]+?)\\}");
            put("evaluate", "\\{\\{([\\s\\S]+?)\\}\\}"); } });
        String list = "{{ _.each(items, function(item) { }} <li>${ item }</li> {{ }); }}";
        Template<Set<Map.Entry<String, Object>>> compiled3 = $.template(list);
        assertEquals(" <li>moe</li>  <li>curly</li>  <li>larry</li> ",
            compiled3.apply((new LinkedHashMap<String, Object>() { {
                put("items", asList("moe", "curly", "larry")); } }).entrySet()));

I prepared an example with ${} wrapper for the variable in template.

Hi Valentyn,

Thanks for the quick response! The test case for ${ .. } works.

However, I was wondering if something like ${item.property} works as well. We note that ${item} works, where item is a String. What if item is a more complex object, with some item.property as well?

In one case, items can be a JSON: {property: "something", property: "somethingElse"}. Can we use Template class now? This idea can be arbitrarily expanded: with any level of nesting via a JSON string.

I tried to look into the source code but couldn't conclude. Can you please help?

Best,

Hi Payas,

No, it will not work. Template replacer checks for the variable name inside function() and changes it inside function's body.

As I know JSON is not allowed to use the key duplicates.

Hi Valentyn,

I guessed as much, but thanks for confirming. And another thanks for such quick replies. :)
