template iteration through dataset rows

[betrixed]

Right now, I am exploring the hunt - dlang way of doing things. I have used dlang before, so it shouldn't be too much a learning curve. I am still looking through the source tree in the .dub/packages and guessing.

I have a Website in PHP. A common idiom is to do a database query, and pass results to a template as array of record objects, or array of array of key-value pairs.

Please, in your documentation, show how to pass results from generic query for a record set with multiple fields, and multiple rows.

So I can get a query result, but how best to generate a template which can iterate multiple data rows? At the moment, the view documentation suggests view.assign supports a named string value, or a named associative array, string[string]. There seems to be a possibility of the template execution being aware of the interfaces of the EntityRepository, ORM , and be able to iterate using the template macros. I realize that interpreted AST templates will have limits, and this one would be a priority for any further progress for me. It isn't easy, as some other project would have managed it already.

From data and template

E.g.

string[] data = [...];

// data will be accessible in template
view.assign("data", data);

// render view
return view.render("home");

        <ol>
                {% for item in data %}
                        <li>{{ item}}</li>
                {% endfor %}
        </ol>
