Smarty

[kalinicm]

Hi all,

smarty will process this: "{$somevar}" > smarty
smarty will not process: " { $somevar } " > javascript (native)

BUT I NEED SMARTY TO IGNORE {{ }} too so that I have:
smarty will process this: "{{$somevar}}" > smarty
smarty will not process: " {{ $somevar }} " > javascript (angularjs)

Can anyone help with this. The simple solution would be to go into the Smarty code itself and somehow add double curly to act the same as single curly braces.

*********************
AN EXAMPLE OF ALL THREE IN SAME HTML TEMPLATE THAT SHOULD WORK:

<div ng-app="">
{$smarty.get.id}
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl" onclick="function() { alert 'clicked'; } "> {{ hi }} </div>
</div>


LEGEND:
smarty - I left NO spaces left and right from { and } > WORKS, SMARTY!
javascript - I left spaces left and right from { and } > WORKS, JAVASCRIPT!
angularjs - I left spaces left and right from {{ and }} > DOES NOT WORK, ANGULARJS!!

That's alot of problem you're trying to create for yourself.
Don't do that.

Thanks for reply.

I will use AngularJS a lot on my new project, Smarty will serve static pages and AngularJS will provide additional layer of functionality, so I really need this to make work without changing smarty or angularjs delimiters.

I assume that Smarty users will use AngularJS, we waited a long time to have JS escaped automatically, and maybe there is an easy way to overcome this.

In file: /libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatelexer.php

I can see here a lot of functions defined for "auto_literal" configuration option, so I must add here those double curly braces.

Here is the part of code I think could solve this:
$yy_global_pattern = "/
\G(\\{\\})|
\G(" . $this->ldel . "\\*([\S\s]*?)\\*" . $this->rdel . ")|
\G(" . $this->ldel . "\\s*strip\\s*" . $this->rdel . ")|
\G(" . $this->ldel . "\\s*\/strip\\s*" . $this->rdel . ")|
\G(" . $this->ldel . "\\s*literal\\s*" . $this->rdel . ")|
\G(" . $this->ldel . "\\s*(if|elseif|else if|while)\\s+)|
\G(" . $this->ldel . "\\s*for\\s+)|
\G(" . $this->ldel . "\\s*foreach(?![^\s]))|
\G(" . $this->ldel . "\\s*setfilter\\s+)|
\G(" . $this->ldel . "\\s*\/)|
\G(" . $this->ldel . "\\s*)|
\G((<script\\s+language\\s*=\\s*[\"']?\\s*php\\s*[\"']?\\s*>)|(<\\?(?:php\\w+|=|[a-zA-Z]+)?))|
\G(\\?>)|
\G(<\/script>)|
\G(\\s*" . $this->rdel . ")|
\G(<%)|
\G(%>)|
\G([\S\s])/iS";

See http://www.smarty.net/docs/en/language.escaping.tpl
Example 3.9.

You can set the Smarty delimiters to whatever you want.

You could change the smarty delimiters, but that might not be a valid choice either. Another plausible workaround would be to make a prefilter that translates {{ into %AJSL% and }} to %AJSR%, (or anything unique) then a post filter that translates them back again. Then during the compile step they won't get touched.

Thank you Mohrt for great idea!

Here is the solution, for others to use:

1. create in plugins directory: prefilter.angularjsescape.php

QUESTION:

Is there a way not to use:

[mohrt]

You could add them to autoload_filters, see the manual.

Also, you should be able to use str_replace instead of preg_replace, it is much more efficient for simple string replacement.

[kalinicm]

Corrected to STR_REPLACE. Thanks.

Will add. Thank you all!

[kalinicm]

Thanks Mohrt.

Corrected the post.

Hi instead of changing smarty standard delimeter, you can change angular js delimeter.
