Slang doesn't render anymore

[straight-shoota]

Alternatively, you can of course override kemal's render with an implementation that delegates to Kilt.render as it was before #618. The only difference is that this implementation won't be implicitly provided by kemal.

FYI. I created a shard kemal-kilt which restores removed functionality.

[renich]

Ah... OK. Oh well. That's sad...

Thanks.

[straight-shoota]

This is because kilt has been removed as a dependency of kemal (#467).

If you want to use it, you need to add it as a dependency to your shard.yml.
See https://github.com/jeromegn/kilt#Installation for instructions.

Related to #629

@straight-shoota so I did. The result is me geetting the slang markup being spat to back to me.

Here's a minimal example:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# create app
crystal init app kemal-test
cd $_

# main
cat << EOF > src/kemal-test.cr
require "kemal"
require "kilt"
require "kilt/slang"

get "/" do
  render "src/views/index.slang"
end

Kemal.run
EOF

# my view
mkdir -p src/views
cat << EOF > src/views/index.slang
doctype html
html
  head
    meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0"
    title This is a test
  body
    h1 Hello, world!

EOF

# add shards
cat << EOF >> shard.yml

dependencies:
  kemal:
    github: kemalcr/kemal

  kilt:
    github: jeromegn/kilt

  slang:
    github: jeromegn/slang


EOF

# install shards
shards install

# try out
crystal run src/kemal-test.cr

btw, I didn't mean the "spitting" part as a bad thing. I'm a spanish native speaker and that's how we say it.. hehe `:)

[straight-shoota]

You have to use Kilt.render instead of kemal's render method.

[renich]

Of course. Thank you.

For what is worth, this actually works:

# create app
crystal init app kemal-test
cd $_

# main
cat << EOF > src/kemal-test.cr
require "kemal"
require "kilt"
require "kilt/slang"

macro render(filename, layout)
  __content_filename__ = {{filename}}
  content = render {{filename}}
  render {{layout}}
end

# Render view with the given filename.
macro render(filename)
  Kilt.render({{filename}})
end

get "/" do
  render "src/views/index.slang"
end

Kemal.run
EOF

# my view
mkdir -p src/views
cat << EOF > src/views/index.slang
doctype html
html
  head
    meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0"
    title This is a test
  body
  	h1 Hello, world!

EOF

# add shards
cat << EOF >> shard.yml

dependencies:
  kemal:
    github: kemalcr/kemal

  kilt:
    github: jeromegn/kilt

  slang:
    github: jeromegn/slang


EOF

# install shards
shards install

# try out
crystal run src/kemal-test.cr
