Curly 2.0.0
This is the second major release of Curly, and there's some awesome new stuff in there as well as some breaking changes.
Breaking Changes
- Some methods and exceptions have been renamed to emphasize the nomenclature used by Curly: components consist of a name, an optional identifier and a set of attributes.
- The syntax checker is now stricter. If a presenter method has a required argument, a component must specify an identifier. If the method doesn't have an argument, a component must not specify an argument.
New Features
- Components can now have attributes, e.g.
{{widget width=200px height=100px title="Hello there!"}}. Any attribute specified on a component must be present as a keyword argument on the presenter method. If the keyword argument is required, the attribute must be specified. - Collection blocks allow you to enumerate a collection right within a Curly template! Using the special
{{*<component>}}block syntax, e.g.{{*comments}}<li>{{body}} -- {{author}}{{/comments}}, you can specify a sub-template that is used to render each item in the collection returned by the presenter method. The presenter class used to render the sub-template is deduced based on the component name; in this case, CommentPresenter.
