erb template handler in Tilt 2.0.6+ and Rails 5.1+.
== Capturing
Erubi does not support capturing block output into the template by default.
-However, it comes with an +erubi/capture_end+ file that supports capturing
-via <tt><%|=</tt> and <tt><%|==</tt> tags which are closed with a
-<tt><%|</tt> tag:
+It currently ships with two implementations that allow it.
- <%|= form do %>
+=== Erubi::CaptureBlockEngine
+
+The recommended implementation can be required via +erubi/capture_block+,
+which allows capturing to work with normal <tt><%=</tt> and <tt><%==</tt>
+tags.
+
+ <%= form do %>
<input>
- <%| end %>
+ <% end %>
-This offers similar functionality to that offered by Rails' <tt><%=</tt>
-tags, but without the corner cases with that approach (which are due to
-attempting to parse ruby code via a regexp). Similar to the <tt><%=</tt>
-and <tt><%==</tt> tags, <tt><%|=</tt> captures by default and
-<tt><%|==</tt> captures and escapes by default, but this can be reversed
-via the +:escape_capture+ or +:escape+ options.
+When using the capture_block support, capture methods should just return
+the text it emit into the template, and call +capture+ on the buffer value.
+Since the buffer variable is a local variable and not an instance variable
+by default, you'll probably want to set the +:bufvar+ variable when using
+the capture_block support to an instance variable, and have any methods
+used call capture on that instance variable. Example:
-To use the capture_end support with tilt:
+ def form(&block)
+ "<form>#{@_buf.capture(&block)}</form>"
+ end
+ puts eval(Erubi::CaptureBlockEngine.new(<<-END, bufvar: '@_buf', trim: false).src)
+ before
+ <%= form do %>
+ inside
+ <% end %>
+ after
+ END
+
+ # Output:
+ # before
+ # <form>
+ # inside
+ # </form>
+ # after
+
+To use the capture_block support with tilt:
+
require 'tilt'
- require 'erubi/capture_end'
- Tilt.new("filename.erb", :engine_class=>Erubi::CaptureEndEngine).render
+ require 'erubi/capture_block'
+ Tilt.new("filename.erb", :engine_class=>Erubi::CaptureBlockEngine).render
-When using the capture_end support, any methods (such as +form+ in the example
-above) should return the (potentially modified) buffer. Since the buffer
-variable is a local variable and not an instance variable by default, you'll
-probably want to set the +:bufvar+ variable when using the capture_end
-support to an instance variable, and have any methods used access that
-instance variable. Example:
+Note that the capture_block support, while very compatible with the default
+support, is not 100% compatible. One area where behavior differs is when
+using multiple statements inside <tt><%=</tt> and <tt><%==</tt> tags:
+ <%= 1; 2 %>
+
+The default support will output 2, but the capture_block support will output
+1.
+
+=== Erubi::CaptureEndEngine
+
+An alternative capture implementation can be required via +erubi/capture_end+,
+which supports it via <tt><%|=</tt> and <tt><%|==</tt> tags which are
+closed with a <tt><%|</tt> tag:
+
+ <%|= form do %>
+ <input>
+ <%| end %>
+
+It is only recommended to use +erubi/capture_end+ for backwards
+compatibilty.
+
+When using the capture_end support, capture methods (such as +form+ in the example
+above) should return the (potentially modified) buffer. Similar to the
+capture_block support, using an instance variable is recommended. Example:
+
def form
@_buf << "<form>"
yield
@_buf << "</form>"
@_buf
end
- puts eval(Erubi::CaptureEndEngine.new(<<-END, :bufvar=>:@_buf).src)
+ puts eval(Erubi::CaptureEndEngine.new(<<-END, bufvar: '@_buf').src)
