BoxComponent

[ v0.12.8+ ]

Container of data for operations like a template, repeating, etc.

repeat

Executes a block until a specified expression evaluates to false.

Available syntax

repeat(expression condition [; boolean silent]): mixed data

Where:

• condition - Conditional expression like ((1 < 2) && true) etc. - see examples in ConditionComponent
• silent - Flag of silent mode.

Samples:

#[Box repeat($(i) < 10; true): 

    #[File append("test.txt"): 
        #[$(i)] 
    ]

    $(i = $([MSBuild]::Add($(i), 1)))
]

#[Box repeat($(flag)): 
    ...
]

iterate

Executes a block when condition is true.

Available syntax

iterate(initializer; condition; iterator): mixed data

Where:

• initializer - Optional initial state.
• condition - Conditional expression like ((1 < 2) && true) etc. - see examples in ConditionComponent
• iterator - Optional operation after each iteration

Samples:

#[Box iterate(i = 0; $(i) < 10; i += 1): 
   ...
]

#[Box iterate(i = 0; $(i) < 10; i = $([MSBuild]::Add($(i), 1))): 
    ...
]

#[Box iterate(; $(flag); ): 
    ...
]

operators

Access to common operators.

sleep

Suspends the current thread for a specified time.

Available syntax

void operators.sleep(integer timeout)

Where:

• timeout - Block current thread for a specified time in milliseconds.

Samples:

#[Box operators.sleep(250)]

#[Box iterate(i = 0; $(i) < 10; i += 1): 
    ...
    #[Box operators.sleep(250)]
]

data

Main templates with data.

Samples:

#[try {

    #[Box data.pack("header", false): 
    
        #[$(data = "Hello $(user) !")]
        #[File appendLine("$(fname)"): ------ #[$(data)] ------ ]
    ]

}catch{ }]

#[$(fname = 'f1.txt')]
#[$(user  = 'UserA')]
#[Box data.get("header", true)]

#[$(user = 'UserB')]
#[Box data.get("header", true)]

 ------ Hello UserA ! ------ 
 ------ Hello UserB ! ------ 

pack

To pack mixed data into container.

Available syntax

void data.pack(string name, boolean eval): In

Where:

• name - The name of package.
• eval - Flag of evaluation of data before packing.
• In - mixed data

Samples:

#[Box data.pack("test1", false): 
    ...
]

#[try {

    #[Box data.pack("header", false): 
    
        ...
    ]

}catch{ }]

free

To release existing package from container.

Available syntax

data.free(string name)

Where:

• name - The name of package.

Samples:

#[Box data.free("test")]

get

To get package data.

Available syntax

data.get(string name, boolean forceEval)

Where:

• name - The name of package.
• forceEval - To force evaluate data of package before receiving.

Samples:

#[Box data.get("test", true)]

clone

Multiple getting package data.

Available syntax

data.clone(string name, integer count [, boolean forceEval])

Where:

• name - The name of package.
• count - The number of clones.
• forceEval - To force evaluate data of package before receiving.

Samples:

#[Box data.clone("test", 4)]
