Drawght

Drawght is a data handler for texts without logical statements. The goal is to use a dataset (such as the subject of a text) to draft a document template. It can be considered a mini template processor.

Data is accessed through {} braces, replaced by their respective values.

Considering the following data:

title: Drawght is a very useful sketch
author:
  name: Hallison Batista
  email: email@hallison.dev.br
  networks:
  - name: Github
    url: //github.com/hallison
  - name: Twitter
    url: //twitter.com/hallison
creation-date: 2021-06-28
publishing date: 2021-07-01
references:
- name: JSON Template
  url: //code.google.com/archive/p/json-template
- name: Mustache
  url: //mustache.github.io
- name: Handlebars
  url: //handlebarsjs.com
tags:
- Template
- Draft

Note that the "creation-date:" and "publishing date:" fields are normally identified by the parser.

In a template written in Markdown:

# {title}

Drawght is a good tool for writing draft documents using datasets without
logical statements.

Written by {author.name} <{author.email}>, created in {creation-date},
published in {publishing date} and tagged by {tags#1}.

- [{author.networks:name}]({author.networks:url})

Follow the news on [{author.networks#1.name}]({author.networks#1.url}).

The syntax was inspired by:

- [{references:name}]({references:url})

Tags:

- {tags} (tagged by {author.name}).

The Drawght processing returns the following result:

# Drawght is a very useful sketch

Syntax

Drawght has a simple syntax:

{key}

Converts key to its respective value. If the value is a list, then the row will be replicated and converted with the respective values.

{object.key}

Converts key to its respective value inside object, assuming the same behavior as {key}.

{list:key}

Selects list, replicates the line for each item in the list, and converts key to its respective value contained in an object within list. The list key can also be accessed by object.list, just as key can also be accessed by object.key which will be converted following the same process in case it is a list.

{list#n.key}

Selects item object n (from 1) from list and converts key to its respective value. The whole process is similar to object.key.
