# File lib/inversion/template/importtag.rb, line 20
def initialize( body, linenum=nil, colnum=nil )
        super
        @attributes = body.split( /\s*,\s*/ ).collect {|name| name.strip.to_sym }
end

Public Instance Methods

as_comment_body()

Render the tag as the body of a comment, suitable for template debugging.

# File lib/inversion/template/importtag.rb, line 66
def as_comment_body
        return "Import %s" % [ self.attributes.join(', ') ]
end

render( renderstate )

Merge the inherited renderstate into the current template’s ‘renderstate`.

# File lib/inversion/template/importtag.rb, line 35
def render( renderstate )
        if (( cstate = renderstate.containerstate ))
                # self.log.debug "Importing inherited attributes: %p from %p" %
                #    [ @attributes, cstate.attributes ]

                # Pick out the attributes that are being imported
                inherited_attrs = @attributes.inject( {} ) do |attrs, key|
                        attrs[ key ] = cstate.attributes[ key ]
                        attrs
                end

                # Merge, but overwrite unset values with inherited ones
                renderstate.attributes.merge!( inherited_attrs ) do |key, oldval, newval|
                        if oldval.nil?
                                # self.log.debug "Importing attribute %p: %p" % [ key, newval ]
                                newval
                        else
                                # self.log.debug "Not importing attribute %p: already set to %p" % [ key, oldval ]
                                oldval
                        end
                end

        else
                self.log.debug "No-op import: no parent attributes set."
        end

        return nil
end
