What is this?

DotLiquid is a .Net port of the popular Ruby Liquid templating language. It is a separate project that aims to retain the same template syntax as the original, while using .NET coding conventions where possible.

For more information about the original Liquid project, see https://shopify.github.io/liquid/.

Quick start

  1. Download the latest release from NuGet.
  2. Read the docs for information on writing and using DotLiquid templates.

Why should I use DotLiquid?

  • You want to leave business logic in your compiled controllers and out of your templates.
  • You're looking for a logic-less template language that also exists for other platforms (ie: node, python).
  • You want to allow your users to edit their own page templates, but want to ensure they don't run insecure code.
  • You want to render templates directly from the database.
  • You want a template engine for emails.

What does it look like?

<ul id="products">
  {% for product in products %}
    <li>
      <h2>{{product.name}}</h2>
      Only {{product.price | price }}

      {{product.description | prettyprint | paragraph }}
    </li>
  {% endfor %}
</ul>

How to use DotLiquid

DotLiquid supports a very simple API based around the DotLiquid.Template class. Generally, you can read the contents of a file into a template, and then render the template by passing it parameters in the form of a Hash object. There are several ways you can construct a Hash object, including from a Dictionary, or using the Hash.FromAnonymousObject method.

Template template = Template.Parse("hi {{name}}"); // Parses and compiles the template
template.Render(Hash.FromAnonymousObject(new { name = "tobi" })); // => "hi tobi"
