To be clear, I am only interested in using heist, not snap. I'm reading through ocharles's tutorial (https://ocharles.org.uk/blog/posts/2013-12-11-24-days-of-hackage-heist.html) and trying to adapt his first example. It is a simple bind tag. My code is as follows:
-- main.hs
main :: IO ()
main = billy
billy :: IO ()
billy = do
heistState <- either (error . concat) id <$>
(runEitherT $ initHeist myConfig)
builder <- maybe (error "oops2") fst $
renderTemplate heistState "billy"
toByteStringIO BS.putStr builder
BS.putStr "\n"
myConfig = (set hcNamespace "") $
(set hcInterpretedSplices defaultInterpretedSplices) $
(set hcTemplateLocations [loadTemplates "templates"]) $
emptyHeistConfig
And the template I'm using:
<bind tag="kiddo">Billy</bind>
Merry Christmas, <kiddo/>!
The output I get is this:
<bind tag='kiddo'>Billy</bind>
Merry Christmas, <kiddo></kiddo>!
I cannot see why the bind tag doesn't work. I've actually updated his code to use the new lens-style heist config, and I know about the namespace trickery that was introduced somewhat recently in heist, but I can't see what else needs to change to get this example working.
Here is what I was able to get to work:
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import qualified Data.ByteString as B
import Blaze.ByteString.Builder (toByteStringIO)
import Control.Applicative
import Control.Monad.Trans.Either (runEitherT)
import Heist
import Heist.Compiled (renderTemplate)
import Control.Lens
heistConfig =
(set hcNamespace "") $
-- (set hcInterpretedSplices defaultInterpretedSplices) $
(set hcLoadTimeSplices defaultLoadTimeSplices) $
(set hcTemplateLocations [loadTemplates "."]) $
emptyHeistConfig
main = do
heistState <- either (error "oops") id <$>
(runEitherT $ initHeist heistConfig)
builder <- maybe (error "oops") fst $
renderTemplate heistState "billy"
toByteStringIO B.putStr builder
Apparently bind is a load time splice, not an interpreted splice.
