Overview

The StringTemplate is a template engine for Ruby on Rails that leverages Ruby's powerful interpolation mechanism. It provides a faster way to compose strings and is designed to be familiar to Ruby programmers. However, it is recommended to use StringTemplate only for performance hotspots and not as a general-purpose template engine due to potential complexity and security concerns.

Features

  • Fastest Template Engine: StringTemplate is designed to be the fastest way to compose a string in Rails.
  • Ruby Interpolation Syntax: The syntax of StringTemplate is based on Ruby's string interpolation mechanism, making it familiar to all Ruby programmers.
  • Action View Integration: StringTemplate allows you to use Action View features, providing additional functionality for your templates.
  • Explicit Security Handling: Unlike some other template engines, StringTemplate does not automatically html escape strings. You need to explicitly call h() to escape possibly HTML unsafe strings for security reasons.

Summary

StringTemplate is a fast template engine for Ruby on Rails that leverages Ruby's interpolation mechanism. It provides a familiar syntax for Ruby programmers and allows integration with Action View features. However, it is recommended to use StringTemplate only for performance hotspots and not as a general-purpose template engine.
