ExpressionTransformer

Type: Function

Parameters

• expression string detected expression without leadIn / leadOut
• remainder string chunk after leadOut
• source Iterable<string> original source
• cb EarlyConsumerCallback to be called if remainder has changed
• leadIn string expression entry sequence
• leadOut string expression exit sequence

Returns AsyncIterable<string> transformed source

EarlyConsumerCallback

Will be called from the ExpressionTransformer if the given remainder needs to be altered.

Type: Function

Parameters

• remainder string new remainder to be used by iterableStringInterceptor

iterableStringInterceptor

Intercept into a async iterable string source, detecting lead in/outs like '{{' and '}}' and asking a transformer for a replacement iterable string.

Parameters

• source Iterable<string>
• transform ExpressionTransformer
• leadIn string expression entry sequence (optional, default "{{")
• leadOut string expression exit sequence (optional, default "}}")

Returns AsyncIterable<string> transformed source
