dependency

usage

{
  use(new Pebble());

  get("/", req -> Results.html("index").put("model", new MyModel());

  // or Pebble API
  get("/pebble-api", req -> {

    PebbleEngine pebble = require(PebbleEngine.class);
    PebbleTemplate template = pebble.getTemplate("template");
    template.evaluate(...);
  });
}

Templates are loaded from root of classpath: / and must end with: .html file extension.

template loader

Templates are loaded from the root of classpath and must end with .html. You can change the default template location and extensions too:

{
  use(new Pebble("templates", ".pebble"));
}

request locals

A template engine has access to request locals (a.k.a attributes). Here is an example:

{
  use(new Pebble());

  get("*", req -> {
    req.set("foo", bar);
  });
}

Then from template:

{{foo}} 

template cache

Cache is OFF when env=dev (useful for template reloading), otherwise is ON.

Cache is backed by Guava and the default cache will expire after 200 entries.

If 200 entries is not enough or you need a more advanced cache setting, just set the pebble.cache option:

pebble.cache = "expireAfterWrite=1h;maximumSize=200"

See com.google.common.cache.CacheBuilderSpec.

tag cache

It works like template cache, except the cache is controlled by the property: pebble.tagCache

advanced configuration

Advanced configuration if provided by callback:

{
  use(new Pebble().doWith(pebble -> {
    pebble.extension(...);
    pebble.loader(...);
  }));
}
