scriban VS Giraffe.Razor

Recently, while creating some experimental C# source code generators (xafero/csharp-generators), I was just concatenating strings together. Like you do, you know, if things have to go very quickly. If you have a simple use case, use a formatted multi-line string or some template library like scriban. But I searched for a way to generate more and more complicated logic easily - like for example, adding raw SQL handler methods to my pre-generated DBSet-like classes for my ADO.NET experiment. You could now say: Use Roslyn and that's really fine if you look everything up in a website like SharpLab, which shows immediately the syntax tree of our C# code.

https://github.com/scriban/scriban I'm not sure it's equal Go template.

What if text templates were just another asset in the Unity Editor? And could be used to generate code or any text asset. This is what I set out to accomplish with Templ. An open-source Unity Editor extension which integrates Scriban templates to enable declarative text assets generation effortlessly.

That's a well trodden path in most languages. A cursory search surfaced this library that looks like it would probably do the job:

I've come across scriban template language but it does not have any watch feature. Maybe I'll hook it up with some File Watcher API of dotnet (if it exists) and see how it goes.

Scriban or FluentEmail's renderers might be just what you're looking for.

There are other DSL Flavors out there like https://github.com/dbrattli/Feliz.ViewEngine (a react based DSL) or https://github.com/giraffe-fsharp/Giraffe.Razor (if you like razor pages) so if you feel this is too much, don't worry you can still write plain HTML (cshtml) or React jsx like code.

The first two are F# DSL's to build HTML, the last one is an HTML scripting language for .NET (there's also Giraffe.Razor but I'll skip that one for today)
