Liquid Hello World read template from file

• parse_file

• Templates are usually much biggger than what we had in the first example.

• We usually prefer to keep the templates as an external files.

• Instead of parse we can use parse_file to load the template from an external file.

• This happens at run-time so you will need to supply the templates outside of the binary or the user will need to create the templates.

Hello Liquid!

fn main() {
    let filename = "template.txt";
    let template = liquid::ParserBuilder::with_stdlib()
        .build()
        .unwrap()
        .parse_file(filename)
        .unwrap();

    let name = String::from("Liquid");
    let globals = liquid::object!({
        "name": name
    });
    let output = template.render(&globals).unwrap();
    println!("{}", output);
}
