Template Syntax

Hix templates support a rich tag syntax for rendering model-based structures. Tags are enclosed in double square brackets [[ ]].

---

Model Tags

• [[model.className]]: Injects the model's class name.

Property Tags (inside [[prop]])

• [[prop.name]]: Injects the name of the property
• [[prop.type]]: Injects the property type

---

Control Flow

Loops

[[prop]]
  [[prop.type]] [[prop.name]];
[[/prop]]

Optional filters:

[[prop type=bool]]
[[prop ignore=Id]]

Conditionals

[[if prop.type=bool]]
  // do something
[[else]]
  // do something else
[[/if]]

---

Functions

Apply transformations to values:

[[upper prop.name]]     => MYFIELD
[[lower prop.name]]     => myfield
[[snake_case prop.name]] => my_field

---

Comments

Hix doesn't support comments in template syntax directly yet, but you can use:

// [[prop.name]] is the name of the field

---

Example Template

public class [[model.className]] {
[[prop]]
  [[if prop.type=bool]]
    public bool [[prop.name]];
  [[else]]
    public [[prop.type]] [[prop.name]];
  [[/if]]
[[/prop]]
}
