ATTENTION: We're still in a very early alpha version, the API may and will change frequently. Please, use it at your own risk, until we release version 1.0.

Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.dgroup</groupId>
    <artifactId>laconic-velocity</artifactId>
</dependency>

Gradle:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.dgroup:laconic-velocity:<version>'
}

Get started

Generate the text/sql/xml/markdown/json/etc based on Apache Velocity template.

1. Define velocity template query.sql

   select 1 from dual
   #if ($flag)
   union
   select 2 from dual
   #end

   in

   velocity $ tree
   ...
   |-- src
   |   |-- main
   |   |   |-- ...
   |   |
   |   `-- test
   |       |-- java
   |       |   `-- ...
   |       `-- resources
   |           `-- velocity
   |               |-- ...
   |               |-- query.sql
   |               |-- ...
   ...
   
   

2. Define instance of velocity template using
   • full path to template

     @Test
     public void transformSql() throws TemplateException {
         MatcherAssert.assertThat(
             new Text("query.sql", "src/test/resources/velocity").compose(
                 new ArgOf("flag", true)
             ),
             Matchers.equalTo(
                 "select 1 from dual\nunion\nselect 2 from dual\n"
             )
         );
     }

   • hierarchical search

     @Test
     public void hierarchical() throws TemplateException {
         MatcherAssert.assertThat(
             new Text("query.sql", "src/test/resources").compose(
                 new ArgOf("flag", true)
             ),
             Matchers.equalTo(
                 "select 1 from dual\nunion\nselect 2 from dual\n"
             )
         );
     }

     You can also specify the multiple roots (more).
   • classpath template

     @Test
     public void classpath() throws TemplateException {
         MatcherAssert.assertThat(
             new Text(new RelativePath("velocity/query.sql")).compose(
                 new ArgOf("flag", true)
             ),
             Matchers.equalTo(
                 "select 1 from dual\nunion\nselect 2 from dual\n"
             )
         );
     }
