Prototype template

README.md

Prototype for a Perch-inspired CMS template.

  • Tags based on handlebars, using JS syntax for arguments
  • Four tags:
    • block - defines a named section in the CMS
    • repeat - allows items to repeated; can set min, max or exact number of repetitions
    • content - defines a piece of content, same kind of configuration as Perch, sensible defaults based on where the tag is used (i.e. text in a <p>, URL in a href, text in an alt),
    • template - loads another file as a template, templates can contain any of the four tags

Thinking about something like: {{ template('shared/content', {shared: true}) }} to allow templates to be shared across different pages.

Also thinking about something like: {{ content('home:title') }} to pull in content from another page.
