Pebble Functions

A set of utility functions that can be used by Pebble templates in an Invirt application.

request()​

Returns the current http4k Request object (as an InvirtRequest). The function is only required in the context of a macro - but can be used anywhere. Outside macros, the context request object can be used directly.

{% macro requestSummary() %}
    {{ request().uri }}
    {{ request().method }}
{% endmacro %}

{{ request.method }}
{{ request.query("q") }}

errors()​

Returns the validation errors object (io.validk.ValidationErrors) or null if there are no validation errors for the current request. Read more about validation here.

{% if errors().hasErrors("name") %}
    <div class="text-error">{{ errors().error("name") }}</div>
{% endif %}

json(object)​

Renders the specified model object as a JSON string. Typically used when you need to render a JSON object consumed by JavaScript.

<div id="map" data-map-place='{{ json(model.place) | raw }}'></div>

jsonArray(collection | object)​

Similar to the json function, except it renders the argument as a JSON array. When the argument is not a collection a one-element JSON array is rendered.

<div id="map" data-map-places='{{ jsonArray(model.places) | raw }}'></div>

today()​

Returns the current date as a java.time.LocalDate

Today is {{ today() }}
