Get output as object rather than string from Render

[Alik2015]

As Render(template,obj) returns a string. Say you were building an Email Templating system and wanted to fill in subject and body of the email where subject is not part of the actual body would you need to call Render twice as follows:

string template = "{{Name}} other email body stuff";
string body = Render(template,obj);
string Subject = Render("Reference Number: {{Ref}}",obj);

public class MyObj
{
public string Ref{get;set;}
public string Name{get;set;}
}
`

Would calling Render twice not have performance issues?``

Hey there,

The problem here is that you're templating two seperate templates. One being the body of your email and the second being the subject. If you're reusing these often then you can use our compilation feature to create a function from your template so we don't keep recompiling.

In the past when i've done a similar task the subject tends to be quite static and can usually be generated using a string interpolation.

The body tends to be more compilated and so templating that using stubble would be reasonable since you may have optional sections or loops.

Hopefully this helps some.

It helps and I was just using subject as an example but would be good if you had a simple example of the function you mentioned. On 8 Sep 2021 09:55, Alex McAuliffe @.***> wrote: Hey there, The problem here is that you're templating two seperate templates.

The notes on compilation are here. Without knowing your requirements i can't really offer more.
