# Askama

Askama implements a template rendering engine based on Jinja.
It generates Rust code from your templates at compile time
based on a user-defined `struct` to hold the template's context.
See below for an example, or read [the book][docs].
**"I use Askama for actix's TechEmpower benchmarks."** --

**"Pretty exciting. I would love to use this already."** --
[Armin Ronacher][mitsuhiko], creator of Jinja
All feedback welcome. Feel free to file bugs, requests for documentation and
any other feedback to the [issue tracker][issues] or [tweet me][twitter].
Many thanks to [David Tolnay][dtolnay] for his support in improving Askama.
Askama was created by and is maintained by Dirkjan Ochtman. If you are in a
position to support ongoing maintenance and further development or use it
in a for-profit context, please consider supporting my open source work on
[Patreon][patreon].
### Feature highlights
* Construct templates using a familiar, easy-to-use syntax
* Template code is compiled into your crate for [optimal performance][benchmarks]
* Benefit from the safety provided by Rust's type system
* Optional built-in support for Actix, Gotham, Iron, Rocket, warp, and tide web frameworks
* Debugging features to assist you in template development
* Templates must be valid UTF-8 and produce UTF-8 when rendered
* Works on stable Rust
### Supported in templates
* Template inheritance
* Loops, if/else statements and include support
* Macro support
* Variables (no mutability allowed)
* Some built-in filters, and the ability to use your own
* Whitespace suppressing with '-' markers
* Opt-out HTML escaping
* Syntax customization

How to get started
------------------
First, add the following to your crate's `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
# in section [dependencies]
askama = "0.8"
```
Now create a directory called `templates` in your crate root.
In it, create a file called `hello.html`, containing the following:
```
Hello, {{ name }}!
```
In any Rust file inside your crate, add the following:
```rust
use askama::Template; // bring trait in scope
#[derive(Template)] // this will generate the code...
#[template(path = "hello.html")] // using the template in this path, relative
// to the `templates` dir in the crate root
struct HelloTemplate<'a> { // the name of the struct can be anything
name: &'a str, // the field name should match the variable name
// in your template
}
fn main() {
let hello = HelloTemplate { name: "world" }; // instantiate your struct
println!("{}", hello.render().unwrap()); // then render it.
}
```
You should now be able to compile and run this code.
Review the [test cases] for more examples.
