Java programmers can implement user-defined directives in Java using the TemplateDirectiveModel interface. See in the API documentation.
Note
TemplateDirectiveModel was introduced in FreeMarker 2.3.11, replacing the soon to be depreciated TemplateTransformModel.
We will implement a directive which converts all output between its start-tag and end-tag to upper case. Like, this template:
|
|
|
|
|
foo
<@upper>
bar
<#-- All kind of FTL is allowed here -->
<#list ["red", "green", "blue"] as color>
${color}
</#list>
baaz
</@upper>
wombat
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
will output this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
foo
BAR
RED
GREEN
BLUE
BAAZ
wombat
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the source code of the directive class:
|
|
|
|
|
|
package com.example;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Writer;
import java.util.Map;
import freemarker.core.Environment;
import freemarker.template.TemplateDirectiveBody;
import freemarker.template.TemplateDirectiveModel;
import freemarker.template.TemplateException;
import freemarker.template.TemplateModel;
import freemarker.template.TemplateModelException;
/**
* FreeMarker user-defined directive that progressively transforms
* the output of its nested content to upper-case.
*
*
* <p><b>Directive info</b></p>
*
* <p>Directive parameters: None
* <p>Loop variables: None
* <p>Directive nested content: Yes
*/
public class UpperDirective implements TemplateDirectiveModel {
public void execute(Environment env,
Map params, TemplateModel[] loopVars,
TemplateDirectiveBody body)
throws TemplateException, IOException {
// Check if no parameters were given:
if (!params.isEmpty()) {
throw new TemplateModelException(
"This directive doesn't allow parameters.");
}
if (loopVars.length != 0) {
throw new TemplateModelException(
"This directive doesn't allow loop variables.");
}
// If there is non-empty nested content:
if (body != null) {
// Executes the nested body. Same as <#nested> in FTL, except
// that we use our own writer instead of the current output writer.
body.render(new UpperCaseFilterWriter(env.getOut()));
} else {
throw new RuntimeException("missing body");
}
}
/**
* A {@link Writer} that transforms the character stream to upper case
* and forwards it to another {@link Writer}.
*/
private static class UpperCaseFilterWriter extends Writer {
private final Writer out;
UpperCaseFilterWriter (Writer out) {
this.out = out;
}
public void write(char[] cbuf, int off, int len)
throws IOException {
char[] transformedCbuf = new char[len];
for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
transformedCbuf[i] = Character.toUpperCase(cbuf[i + off]);
}
out.write(transformedCbuf);
}
public void flush() throws IOException {
out.flush();
}
public void close() throws IOException {
out.close();
}
}
}

Now we still need to create an instance of this class, and make this
directive available to the template with the name "upper" (or with
whatever name we want) somehow. A possible solution is to put the
directive in the data-model:
|
|
|
|
|
|
root.put("upper", new com.example.UpperDirective());
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But typically it is better practice to put commonly used directives into the Configuration as shared variables.
It is also possible to put the directive into an FTL library (collection of macros and like in a template, that you include or import in other templates) using the new built-in:
|
|
|
|
|
|
<#-- Maybe you have directives that you have implemented in FTL -->
<#macro something>
...
</#macro>
<#-- Now you can't use <#macro upper>, but instead you can: -->
<#assign upper = "com.example.UpperDirective"?new()>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
我们将创建一个指令的执行指定的次数（同样列出指令）随意分隔与一个<hr> - S的repetations输出，其嵌套的内容，再学习。
让我们把这种指令“重复”。
例如模板：
|
|
|
|
|
|
<#assign x = 1>
<@repeat count=4>
Test ${x}
<#assign x = x + 1>
</@repeat>
<@repeat count=3 hr=true>
Test
</@repeat>
<@repeat count=3; cnt>
${cnt}. Test
</@repeat>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Test 1
Test 2
Test 3
Test 4
Test
<hr> Test
<hr> Test
1. Test
2. Test
3. Test

这是非常重要的一TemplateDirectiveModel对象通常不应该有状态。
典型的错误是对在该对象的字段指令调用执行状态储存。
对同一指令，或者指令嵌套调用看成是由多个线程同时访问共享变量使用的对象。
可惜的是，TemplateDirectiveModel，就做不支持传递参数按位置（而不是名称）。
这是固定的起价FreeMarker的2.4。
