I was wondering how to render a hamlet template (I'm specifically interested in julius - more on that later) outside of the context of a Handler handling a web request. The reason I want to do this is I have come client side javascript (for android and ios + phonegap) and it would be nice to use julius to automatically generate some javascript code for the xcode project. To be specific, i have a .js file like this:
var URL_HOME = "http://localhost"; // var URL_HOME = "http://myhost";
var URL_PROFILE = URL_HOME + "/boo";
If its possible to render julius without a request, then I could do this: var URL_HOME = @HomeR@; var URL_PROFILE = @ProfileR@;
and add a small executable to generate the JS file.
So, how would one do this?
Sorry if this is obvious, i spent some time trying and digging around the haddocks, didn't find an answer.
happy new years, max
Well, the first thing you'd want to look at is renderJulius[1]. For that to work, you'll need the URL rendering function, which is what I assume you're asking for, and is slightly harder to get. For that, you'll probably want the joinPath method of the Yesod typeclass. Let me know if you have trouble, I can (at a later date) write up an example.
