Rythm Template Engine [rythm] module

This module is for the Play 1.x series only.

PlayRythm is yet another template engine for play v1.x. It’s built on top of Rythm template engine with the following features:

1. Static and strong typed pure Java template. Yes it’s like Japid and Jamon
2. Razor like syntax
3. Easy to integrate with Play and migrate your groovy template one by one
   1. Your existing controllers doesn’t need to be changed
   2. Your existing mailers doesn’t need to be changed
   3. Once an new template file under app/rythm folder created in the corresponding path, Rythm will take over; all other groovy templates still works
   4. Great Error reporting on parsing, compilation and excuting errors, using Play-2.0 style!
4. Automatic escape expression output, like Groovy and unlike Japid
5. High performance at Japid level
6. Support layout and tag, you get all you have in Groovy template, actually even more
7. Support FastTags and JavaExtensions with constraints
8. Support properties enhancement to template class
9. Tag invocation decorations and chain them together
10. Template content decorations and chain them together
11. Invoke controller action method directly from within your template
12. Include other template inline (not the same as tag invocation)
13. New Cache4 annotation to mark on controller action method
14. Support GAE
15. String Interpolation Mode
16. ToString Mode
17. AutoToString Mode
18. Customize template class by adding imports and methods source code

Rythm template at a glance:

@extends(main)
@args List<User> users
...
<ul>
@for(User user: users) {
    @if (!user.disabled()) {
        <li class="@user_parity">
            <span>@user_index</span>
            <a href="@url(User.show(user.getId()))">@user.getName()</a>
        </li>
    }
}
</ul>
