The utpl script language supports declaring objects (dictionaries) using
either JSON or JavaScript notation.
-- Expect stdout --
{ }
{ "name": "Bob", "age": 31, "email": { "work": "bob@example.com", "private": "bob@example.org" } }
{ "banana": "yellow", "tomato": "red", "broccoli": "green" }
{ "foo": "bar", "complex key": "qrx" }
{ "foo": { "bar": true } }
-- End --
-- Testcase --
{%
// An empty object can be declared using a pair of curly brackets
empty_obj = { };
// It is also possible to use JSON notation to declare an object
json_obj = {
"name": "Bob",
"age": 31,
"email": {
"work": "bob@example.com",
"private": "bob@example.org"
}
};
// Declaring an object in JavaScript notation is supported as well
another_obj = {
banana: "yellow",
tomato: "red",
broccoli: "green"
};
// Mixing styles is allowed too
third_obj = {
foo: "bar",
"complex key": "qrx"
};
// Important caveat: when nesting objects, ensure that curly brackets
// are separated by space or newline to avoid interpretation as
// expression block tag!
nested_obj = { foo: { bar: true } }; // <-- mind the space in "} }"
// Printing (or stringifying) objects will return their JSON representation
print(empty_obj, "\n");
print(json_obj, "\n");
print(another_obj, "\n");
print(third_obj, "\n");
print(nested_obj, "\n");
-- End --
Additionally, utpl implements ES6-like spread operators to allow shallow copying
of object properties into other objects.
-- Expect stdout --
{ "foo": true, "bar": false }
{ "foo": true, "bar": false, "baz": 123, "qrx": 456 }
{ "foo": false, "bar": true, "baz": 123, "qrx": 456 }
{ "foo": true, "bar": false }
{ "foo": true, "bar": false, "level2": { "baz": 123, "qrx": 456 } }
{ "foo": true, "bar": false, "0": 7, "1": 8, "2": 9 }
-- End --
-- Testcase --
{%
o1 = { foo: true, bar: false };
o2 = { baz: 123, qrx: 456 };
arr = [7, 8, 9];
print(join("\n", [
// copying one object into another
{ ...o1 },
// combining two objects
{ ...o1, ...o2 },
// copying object and override properties
{ ...o1, ...o2, foo: false, bar: true },
// default properties overwritten by spread operator
{ foo: 123, bar: 456, ...o1 },
// nested spread operators
{ ...o1, level2: { ...o2 } },
// merging array into objects
{ ...o1, ...arr }
]), "\n");
%}
