Questions tagged [spark-view-engine]

Spark is a view engine for ASP.NET MVC, Castle Project MonoRail, FubuMVC, NancyFx, JessicaFx and OpenRasta frameworks. The idea is to allow the html to dominate the flow and the code to fit seamlessly.

Based on the readme from the SparkViewEngine github page you can use two kinds of syntaxes

<viewdata products="IEnumerable[[Product]]"/>
<ul if="products.Any()">
  <li each="var p in products">${p.Name}</li>
</ul>
<else>
  <p>No products available</p>
</else>

or "left-offset" syntax inspired by frameworks like Jade and Haml

viewdata products="IEnumerable[[Product]]"
ul if="products.Any()"
  li each="var p in products" 
    ${p.Name}
else
  p |No products available
