Is there a truncate modifier for the blade templates in Laravel, pretty much like Smarty? I know I could just write out the actual php in the template but i'm looking for something a little nicer to write (let's not get into the whole PHP is a templating engine debate). So for example i'm looking for something like: {{ $myVariable|truncate:"10":"..." }} I know I could use something like Twig via composer but I'm hoping for built in functionality in Laravel itself. If not is it possible to create your own reusable modifiers like Smarty provides. I like the fact that Blade doesn’t overkill with

Jinja2 and Mako are both apparently pretty fast. How do these compare to (the less featured but probably good enough for what I'm doing) string.Template ? Here are the results of the popular template engines for rendering a 10x1000 HTML table.

I have looked at jTemplates and it's worth a try. Are there any other template engines other than jTemplates? I liked the approach the JavaScriptMVC Frameworks Views take, especially because it uses JavaScript itself as the templating language. The framework is now based on jQuery and you can render your Model right into the views (Model supports JSON, JSONP, XML etc.). Did you try pure.js ? The main difference with the dozens of JS templating engines available is that PURE leaves the HTML totally separated from the JS logic. And it's pretty fast too. However it is not the common <% ... %>

I'm trying to template a template, like below: {{{ { "name" : "{{name}}", "description" : "{{description}}" } }}} {{{debug this}}} <h1>{{name}}</h1> Where I want to triple brackets to stay, but double brackets to be replaced with the JSON passed in. Anyone know the best way to do this without writing post-process JS code, and if not, is there a good nodeJS template engine for this type of scenario? You can switch delimiters to something that won't conflict with the triple mustaches, like erb-style tags: {{=<% %>=}} {{{ { "name": "<% name %>", "description": "<% description %>" } }}} {{{debug

Velocity or FreeMarker? They look pretty much the same, even the syntax? What to use? Or when to use what? skaffman Velocity isn't really under active development any more. Freemarker is. Freemarker is also a lot more flexible, in my experience. The goals for the projects are different. Velocity's goal is to keep templates as simple as possible, to help maintain a segregation between logic and presentation, so you don't slide down the slippery slope of sticking code in templates. Sometimes this is the right thing. Of course, sometimes being able to wire complicated logic directly into

I am looking for a stand-alone, easy to use from C# code, template engine. I want to create an HTML and XML files with placeholders for data, and fill them with data from my code. The engine needs to support loops (duplicating parts of the template form more that one object) and conditions (add parts of the template to the final HTML/XML only if some conditions are true). Can someone recommend a good option for me, and add a link to more-or-less such code sample, and some documentation about how to use the recommended component for my needs? I also need to use loops to duplicate table rows, or

Many template languages have "slots" or "yield" statements, that allow to do some sort of inversion of control to wrap one template inside of another. Angular has "transclude" option . Rails has yield statement . If React.js had yield statement, it would look like this: var Wrapper = React.createClass({ render: function() { return ( <div className="wrapper"> before <yield/> after </div> ); } }); var Main = React.createClass({ render: function() { return ( <Wrapper><h1>content</h1></Wrapper> ); } }); Desired output: <div class="wrapper"> before <h1>content</h1> after </div> Alas, React.js doesn
