Sigma σ is a Simple, Safe and Fast Template language

Latest version Documentation License

Hi {{ name }} i'm sigma :wave: !

Simple:

sigma is a very simple template language, it only tries to solve only one problem. it also extendable, but with simple idea too (Pure Functions).

Safe:

sigma is also typed, that means that it has the idea of built-in validators for your input. and for those how wanna play, it also could be untyped. also it has a good error checking at parse time of your template. the only error that could happen in runtime is that the input data fails to be parsed to your data types in your templates.

Here is some error examples:

--> 1:49
  |
1 | my username is {{ username: str |> UPPERCASE |> NO_FUN }} WOW!
  |                                                 ^----^
  |
  = undefined function: NO_FUN

what if you forgot to bind for some variable in your template ?

 --> 1:19
  |
1 | my username is {{ username: str |> UPPERCASE |> NO_FUN }} WOW!
  |                   ^------^
  |
  = undefined variable: username consider adding a bind for it

do you need extra help ? we got your back ;)

--> 1:35
  |
1 | my username is {{ username: u32 | UPPERCAS }} WOW!
  |                                   ^------^
  |
  = undefined function: UPPERCAS did you mean: UPPERCASE ?
Fast:

sigma uses pest, The Elegant Parser under the hood to write it's grammar. that means it will be exteramly fast in parsing your templete, also it uses regex crate to replace your data in the template.

Here is some benchmacrk on my old pc running intel quad core q9650 processor and an Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

Examples

here is a simple examples of how it works

  • Simple:
use sigma::Sigma;
let result = Sigma::new("Hello {{ username }}") // using {{ ... }} for the template.
 .bind("username", "someone") // bind the vars with values
 .parse() // you must parse your template first
 .map_err(|e| eprintln!("{}", e))? // for pretty printing the error..
 .compile()?;
assert_eq!("Hello someone", result);
  • with optinal variables
use sigma::Sigma;
  
let result = Sigma::new("Hello {{ username? }}") // using `?` to tell the parser it maybe `null`.
 .parse()
 .map_err(|e| eprintln!("{}", e))? // for pretty printing the error..
 .compile()?;
assert_eq!("Hello ", result);
  • what about types ?
use sigma::Sigma;
  
let result = Sigma::new("Hello {{ username: str }}") // u8, u32 ? a bool ?.
 .bind("username", "someone")
 .parse()
 .map_err(|e| eprintln!("{}", e))? // for pretty printing the error..
 .compile()?;
assert_eq!("Hello someone", result);
  • how about functions ?
use sigma::Sigma;
  
let result = Sigma::new("Hello {{ username: str | UPPERCASE }}") // functions uses the `|` operator or if you love `|>` you can use it too.
 .bind("username", "someone")
 .parse()
 .map_err(|e| eprintln!("{}", e))? // for pretty printing the error..
 .compile()?;
assert_eq!("Hello SOMEONE", result);
  • love macros ?
use sigma::sigma;
let username = "someone";
let result = sigma!("Hello {{ username }}", username); // the macro return the result so you can check for compile erros.
assert_eq!("Hello someone", result.unwrap());
