Gazorator

Gazorator is a dotnet library that empowers developers to generate XML based outputs using the power of the Razor View Engine.

Supported output formats include:

HTML
XML
XAML

Sample

There are three parts to running Gazorator:

The Template
The Model or data
The Output.

Template

Templates can be any XML based language, and Razor syntax is recommended due to its flexibility. Templates are required to inherit from the type Gazorator.Scripting.RazorScriptHost<T>.

@inherits Gazorator.Scripting.RazorScriptHost<Gazorator.Console.Model>
@{ var helloWorld = ""Hello World!""; }
@{ var year = DateTime.Now.Year; }

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=""en"">
<head>
    <title>Add Numbers</title>
    <meta charset=""utf-8"" />
    <style type=""text/css"">
        body {
            background-color: beige;
            font-family: Verdana, Arial;
            margin: 50px;
        }

        div {
            padding: 10px;
            border-style: solid;
            width: 250px;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
        <p>@helloWorld</p>
        <p>It's year @year!</p>
        <p>@Model.MyProperty</p>
        @foreach (var x in Model.Values)
        {
            <p>@x</p>
        }
        @Html.Raw(""<h2>Output some html!</h2>"")
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Models

Similar to Razor Views, Gazorator templates can take a view model. Here we see the usage of WithModel passing in a value.

using var writer = new StringWriter();
await Gazorator.Default
    .WithOutput(writer)
    .WithModel(new Model
    {
        MyProperty = 1234,
        Values = new List<int> {1, 2, 3, 4}
    })
    .ProcessTemplateAsync(template);

Output

We can write the output to an instance of TextWriter.
