Please make suggestions for new features and feel free to contribute!

Introduction

Makes the task of creating and using templates much easier by using simple tokens in a file and annotations on a model.

No need to create a separate method for each template type you use. Just create your template and model, then call invoke the processor to work its magic.

Supports complex data types & collections.

Usage

See example project.

Create a template with some tokens (place holders) Create a model with annotated public properties Invoke the processor, sending the template, model and the strings you use as the token start and end.

template = Shablon.TemplateProcessor.ProcessTemplate(template, orderModel, "[#", "#]");

ValueTypes

Add annotation to a value type and strings to define the placeholder for auto replacement

NameValueCollections

These are a special case and easy to use. Both the name and the value can be output in the template with the special reserved tokens "_Name" and "_Value"

Notes

Replacements are global, so be careful not to use the same place holder in a model that contains complex types. For example, don't use "Name" for a customer on an invoice template then also use "Name" on a product. They will all get replaced with the same data!
