Package amber is an elegant templating engine for Go Programming Language.
It is inspired from HAML and Jade.

Tags

A tag is simply a word:

    html

is converted to

    <html></html>

It is possible to add ID and CLASS attributes to tags:

    div#main
    span.time

are converted to

    <div id="main"></div>
    <span class="time"></span>

Any arbitrary attribute name / value pair can be added this way:

    a[href="http://www.google.com"]

You can mix multiple attributes together

    a#someid[href="/"][title="Main Page"].main.link Click Link

gets converted to

    <a id="someid" class="main link" href="/" title="Main Page">Click Link</a>

It is also possible to define these attributes within the block of a tag

    a
        #someid
        [href="/"]
        [title="Main Page"]
        .main
        .link
        | Click Link

Doctypes

To add a doctype, use `!!!` or `doctype` keywords:

    !!! transitional
    // <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

or use `doctype`

    doctype 5
    // <!DOCTYPE html>

Available options: `5`, `default`, `xml`, `transitional`, `strict`, `frameset`, `1.1`, `basic`, `mobile`

Tag Content

For single line tag text, you can just append the text after tag name:

    p Testing!

would yield

    <p>Testing!</p>

For multi line tag text, or nested tags, use indentation:

    html
        head
            title Page Title
        body
            div#content
                p
                    | This is a long page content
                    | These lines are all part of the parent p

                    a[href="/"] Go To Main Page

Data

Input template data can be reached by key names directly. For example, assuming the template has been
executed with following JSON data:

    {
        "Name": "Ekin",
        "LastName": "Koc",
        "Repositories": [
            "amber",
            "dateformat"
        ],
        "Avatar": "/images/ekin.jpg",
        "Friends": 17
    }

It is possible to interpolate fields using `#{}`

    p Welcome #{Name}!

would print

    <p>Welcome Ekin!</p>

Attributes can have field names as well

    a[title=Name][href="/ekin.koc"]

would print

    <a title="Ekin" href="/ekin.koc"></a>

Expressions

Amber can expand basic expressions. For example, it is possible to concatenate strings with + operator:

    p Welcome #{Name + " " + LastName}

Arithmetic expressions are also supported:

    p You need #{50 - Friends} more friends to reach 50!

Expressions can be used within attributes

    img[alt=Name + " " + LastName][src=Avatar]

Variables

It is possible to define dynamic variables within templates,
all variables must start with a $ character and can be assigned as in the following example:

    div
        $fullname = Name + " " + LastName
        p Welcome #{$fullname}

If you need to access the supplied data itself (i.e. the object containing Name, LastName etc fields.) you can use `$` variable

    p $.Name

Conditions

For conditional blocks, it is possible to use `if <expression>`

    div
        if Friends > 10
            p You have more than 10 friends
        else if Friends > 5
            p You have more than 5 friends
        else
            p You need more friends

Again, it is possible to use arithmetic and boolean operators

    div
        if Name == "Ekin" && LastName == "Koc"
            p Hey! I know you..

There is a special syntax for conditional attributes. Only block attributes can have conditions;

    div
        .hasfriends ? Friends > 0

This would yield a div with `hasfriends` class only if the `Friends > 0` condition holds. It is
perfectly fine to use the same method for other types of attributes:

    div
        #foo ? Name == "Ekin"
        [bar=baz] ? len(Repositories) > 0

Iterations

It is possible to iterate over arrays and maps using `each`:

    each $repo in Repositories
        p #{$repo}

would print

    p amber
    p dateformat

It is also possible to iterate over values and indexes at the same time

    each $i, $repo in Repositories
        p
            .even ? $i % 2 == 0
            .odd ? $i % 2 == 1

Includes

A template can include other templates using `include`:

    a.amber
        p this is template a

    b.amber
        p this is template b

    c.amber
        div
            include a
            include b

gets compiled to

    div
        p this is template a
        p this is template b

Inheritance

A template can inherit other templates. In order to inherit another template, an `extends` keyword should be used.
Parent template can define several named blocks and child template can modify the blocks.

    master.amber
        !!! 5
        html
            head
                block meta
                    meta[name="description"][content="This is a great website"]

                title
                    block title
                        | Default title
            body
                block content

    subpage.amber
        extends master

        block title
            | Some sub page!

        block append meta
            // This will be added after the description meta tag. It is also possible
            // to prepend something to an existing block
            meta[name="keywords"][content="foo bar"]

        block content
            div#main
                p Some content here
