Sugar

A template language that compiles to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Combines the best ideas from Pug, Stylus, and CoffeeScript into a single indentation-based syntax.

Install

pip install abstra-sugar

Usage

from abstra_sugar import sugar

# static
html = sugar(open("page.sugar").read())

# with data (templating)
html = sugar(open("page.sugar").read(), {"users": [...], "title": "Home"})

Example

html:
    head:
        style:
            .title:
                color: #333
                font-size: 24px
    body:
        h1.title: Hello World
        p: Welcome to Sugar
        ul:
            li: Simple
            li: Fast
            li: Clean
        script:
            greet(name):
                console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`)
            greet("World")

Compiles to:

<html>
    <head>
        <style>
            .title {
                color: #333;
                font-size: 24px;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1 class="title">Hello World</h1>
        <p>Welcome to Sugar</p>
        <ul>
            <li>Simple</li>
            <li>Fast</li>
            <li>Clean</li>
        </ul>
        <script>
            function greet(name) {
                console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
            }
            greet("World");
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

Architecture

sugar(string) → string

    scan(code)    →  List[Token]      # lexer.py
    parse(tokens) →  List[Node]       # parser.py
    compile(nodes) → string           # compiler.py
