+
+ <p>These built-ins exists since FreeMarker 2.3.22</p>
+ </div>
+
+
+ <p><code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">value</em>?api</code>
+ provides access to the API (usually, the Java API) of
+ <code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">value</em></code>, like
+ <code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">value</em>?api.<em class="code-color">someJavaMethod()</em></code>
+ or
+ <code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">value</em>?api.<em class="code-color">someBeanProperty</em></code>,
+ if the value itself supports exposing its API. This meant to be used
+ rarely, when you need to call a Java method of an object, but the
+ by-design simplistic view of the value that FreeMarker exposes to
+ the templates hides that, and there's no equivalent built-in either.
+ For example, when you put a <code class="inline-code">Map</code> into the
+ data-model (and you are using the default object wrapper),
+ <code class="inline-code">myMap.myMethod()</code> in a template basically
+ translates to <code class="inline-code">((Method)
+ myMap.get("myMethod")).invoke(...)</code> in Java, thus you can't
+ call <code class="inline-code">myMethod</code>. If, however, you write
+ <code class="inline-code">myMap?api.myMethod()</code> instead, that means
+ <code class="inline-code">myMap.myMethod()</code> in Java. Similarly,
+ <code class="inline-code">myMap?api.myProperty</code> translates to
+ <code class="inline-code">myMap.getMyProperty()</code> in Java, instead of to
+ <code class="inline-code">myMap.get("myProperty")</code>.</p>
+
+ <p><em>You should avoid using <code class="inline-code">api</code>, and
+ rely on the capabilities of the FTL types and the related built-ins
+ as far as possible.</em> For example, don't use
+ <code class="inline-code">users?api.size()</code>, but
+ <code class="inline-code">users?size</code>. The variation that uses
+ <code class="inline-code">?api</code> is more verbose, slower, more easily breaks
+ when FreeMarker configuration settings are changed, and most
+ importantly, more prone to break as the technical details of the
+ data-model change. For example, if <code class="inline-code">users</code> is
+ changed from a <code class="inline-code">List</code> to an array,
+ <code class="inline-code">users?size</code> will keep working, while
+ <code class="inline-code">users?api.size()</code> will break.</p>
+
+ <p>Avoid calling methods that <em>modify</em> an
+ object (especially <code class="inline-code">Map</code>-s and
+ <code class="inline-code">Collection</code>-s) or that aren't thread safe from
+ other reasons. Templates usually aren't expected to modify the
+ objects exposed to them, just to display them. Thus the application
+ may passes some objects to multiple (possibly concurrent) template
+ processings.</p>
+
+ <p>The <code class="inline-code">api</code> built-in is not everywhere
+ available, some requirements has to be met:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>The <code class="inline-code">api_builtin_enabled</code> configuration
+ setting must be set to <code class="inline-code">true</code>. Its default is
+ <code class="inline-code">false</code> (at least as of 2.3.22) for not
+ lowering the security of existing applications.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>The value itself has to support it. We are talking about
+ the value as the template sees it, which is created from the
+ original object (that's coming from the data-model or from a
+ Java method return value) value via <a href="pgui_datamodel_objectWrapper.html">object wrapping</a>.
+ Hence, this depends on the <code class="inline-code">object_wrapper</code>
+ FreeMarker configuration setting, and on the class of the
+ wrapped (the original) object:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>When the object wrapper is a
+ <code class="inline-code">DefaultObjectWrapper</code> with its
+ <code class="inline-code">incompatibleImprovements</code> set to 2.3.22 or
+ higher (<a href="pgui_datamodel_objectWrapper.html#topic.defaultObjectWrapperIcI">see
+ how to set it here</a>), FTL values made from
+ <code class="inline-code">Map</code>-s and <code class="inline-code">List</code>-s
+ support <code class="inline-code">?api</code>. (Actually, what matters is
+ that its <code class="inline-code">useAdaptersForContainer</code> property
+ is set to <code class="inline-code">true</code>, but that's the default
+ with said <code class="inline-code">incompatibleImprovements</code>.)
+ Other <code class="inline-code">java.util.Collections</code> (such as
+ <code class="inline-code">Set</code>-s) only support
+ <code class="inline-code">?api</code> if
+ <code class="inline-code">DefaultObjectWrapper</code>'s
+ <code class="inline-code">forceLegacyNonListCollections</code> property is
+ set to <code class="inline-code">false</code> (the default is
+ <code class="inline-code">true</code> for better out-of-the-box backward
+ compatibility).</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>When wrapped with pure
+ <code class="inline-code">BeansWrapper</code>, all values support
+ <code class="inline-code">?api</code>.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Custom <code class="inline-code">TemplateModel</code>-s can support
+ <code class="inline-code">?api</code> by implementing the
+ <code class="inline-code">freemarker.template.TemplateModelWithAPISupport</code>
+ interface.</p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Using <code class="inline-code">?api</code> when it's not allowed in the
+ configuration or when the value doesn't support it will abort
+ template processing with error.</p>
+
+ <p>Whether a value supports <code class="inline-code">?api</code> can be
+ checked like
+ <code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">value</em>?has_api</code>, which
+ returns a boolean value. Note that the result of
+ <code class="inline-code">?has_api</code> isn't influenced by the
+ <code class="inline-code">api_builtin_enabled</code> setting.</p>

+
+
+
+
+

+
+
+
+
+ <p>Returns a <code class="inline-code">SimpleNumber</code> which contains the
+ same value as the original variable, but uses
+ <code class="inline-code">java.lang.<em class="code-color">Type</em></code> for the
+ internal representation of the value. This is useful if a method is
+ overloaded, or if a <code class="inline-code">TemplateModel</code> unwrapper has
+ problem with automatically choosing the suitable
+ <code class="inline-code">java.lang.*</code> type. Note that since version 2.3.9
+ the unwrapper has been improved substantially, so you will hardly
+ ever need to use these built-ins to convert between numerical types,
+ except for resolving ambiguity in overloaded method
+ invocation.</p>
+
+ <p>The <code class="inline-code">long</code> built-in can also be used with
+ date, time and date-time values to get the value as
+ <code class="inline-code">java.util.Date.getTime()</code> would return. This is
+ useful if you have to call a Java methods that expect a timestamp as
+ a <code class="inline-code">long</code>.</p>
+
+
+
+
+
+<h2 class="content-header header-section2" id="ref_builtin_eval">eval</h2>
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ <p>This built-in evaluates a string as an FTL expression. For
+ example <code class="inline-code">"1+2"?eval</code> returns number 3.</p>
+
+ <p>The evaluated expression sees the same variables (such as
+ locals) that are visible at the place of the invocation of
+ <code class="inline-code">eval</code>. That is, it behaves similarly as if in
+ place of <code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">s</em>?eval</code> you
+ had the <em>value of</em>
+ <code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">s</em></code> there. Except, it
+ can't use <a href="ref_builtins_loop_var.html">loop variable
+ built-ins</a> that refer to a loop variable that was created
+ outside <code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">s</em></code>.</p>
+
+ <p>Regarding the configuration settings that affect the parsing
+ (like syntax) and evaluation the rules are the same as with the
+ <a href="#ref_builtin_interpret"><code>interpret</code>
+ built-in</a>.</p>
+
+
+
+
+
+<h2 class="content-header header-section2" id="ref_builtin_has_content">has_content</h2>
+
+
+
+
+ <p>It is <code class="inline-code">true</code> if the variable exists (and
+ isn't Java <code class="inline-code">null</code>) and is not "empty",
+ otherwise it is <code class="inline-code">false</code>. The meaning of
+ "empty" depends on the concrete case. This follows
+ intuitive common-sense ideas. The following are empty: a string with
+ 0 length, a <a href="dgui_misc_autoescaping.html#dgui_misc_autoescaping_movalues">markup
+ output value</a> with 0 length markup, a sequence or hash with no
+ sub variables, a collection which has passed the last element. If
+ the value is not of any of these types, then it counts as non-empty
+ if it's a number or a date or a boolean (e.g. <code class="inline-code">0</code>
+ and <code class="inline-code">false</code> are not empty), otherwise it counts as
+ empty. Note that when your data-model implements multiple template
+ model interfaces you may get unexpected results. However, when in
+ doubt you can use always use <code class="inline-code">expr!?size > 0</code> or
+ <code class="inline-code">expr!?length > 0</code> instead of
+ <code class="inline-code">expr?has_content</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>This buit-in is exceptional in that you can use the
+ parentheses trick like with the <a href="dgui_template_exp.html#dgui_template_exp_missing_default">default value
+ operator</a>. That is, you can write both
+ <code class="inline-code">product.color?has_content</code> and
+ <code class="inline-code">(product.color)?has_content</code>. The first doesn't
+ handle the case when <code class="inline-code">product</code> is missing, the last
+ does.</p>
+
+
+
+
+
+<h2 class="content-header header-section2" id="ref_builtin_interpret">interpret</h2>
+
+
+
+
+ <p>This built-in parses a string as an FTL template, and returns
+ an user-defined directive that executes that template, just as if a
+ template with that content were <a href="ref_directive_include.html"><code>include</code>-d</a>
+ at that point. Example:</p>
+
+
+
+<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-template"><#assign x=["a", "b", "c"]>
+<#assign templateSource = r"<#list x as y>${y}</#list>">
+<#-- Note: That r was needed so that the ${y} is not interpreted above -->
+<#assign inlineTemplate = templateSource?interpret>
+<@inlineTemplate /></pre></div>
+
+ <p>The output:</p>
+
+
+
+<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-output">abc</pre></div>
+
+ <p>As you can see, <code class="inline-code">inlineTemplate</code> is a
+ user-defined directive that, when executed, runs the template whose
+ content is the value of <code class="inline-code">templateSource</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>The name of the template created by
+ <code class="inline-code">interpret</code> is the name of the template that calls
+ <code class="inline-code">interpret</code>, plus
+ <code class="inline-code">"->anonymous_interpreted"</code>. For example, if the
+ template that calls the built-in is
+ <code class="inline-code">"foo/bar.ftl"</code>, then the name of the resulting
+ template is
+ <code class="inline-code">"foo/bar.ftl->anonymous_interpreted"</code>. Thus,
+ relative paths inside the interpreted template are relative to this
+ path (i.e., the base directory will be <code class="inline-code">"foo"</code>),
+ and errors inside the interpreted template will point to this
+ generated template name.</p>
+
+ <p>For more helpful error messages, you can override the template
+ name part after the <code class="inline-code">"->"</code>. For example, let's
+ say <code class="inline-code">mailTemplateSource</code> comes from the
+ <code class="inline-code">mail_template</code> database table, and in the case of
+ error, you want the error log to contain the database ID of the
+ failing template:</p>
+
+
+
+<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-template"><#assign inlineTemplate = [mailTemplateSource, "mail_templates id=${mailTemplateId}"]?interpret></pre></div>
+
+ <p>As you can see, <code class="inline-code">interpret</code> can be applied on
+ a sequence of two items, in which case the first item is the FTL
+ string to interpret, and the second items is the template name used
+ after the <code class="inline-code">"->"</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>The configuration settings that affect the interpreted
+ template are the same as of the surrounding template, except that
+ parser settings specified in the <a href="ref_directive_ftl.html#ref.directive.ftl"><code>ftl</code> directive</a>
+ or was established via tag syntax or naming convention
+ auto-detection are instead coming from the
+ <code class="inline-code">Configuration</code> object (or naturally, from the
+ <a href="pgui_config_templateconfigurations.html"><code>TemplateConfiguration</code></a>,
+ if there's any). Thus the tag syntax, naming convention, whitespace
+ handling, etc. of the interpreted template is independent of that
+ established <em>inside</em> the surrounding template. An
+ important exception from this rule is that the <a href="dgui_misc_autoescaping.html#dgui_misc_autoescaping_outputformat">output format</a>
+ and auto-escaping policy is inherited from the lexical context where
+ <code class="inline-code">interpret</code> is called from. For example in a
+ template that has <code class="inline-code"><#ftl
+ output_format="XML"></code> header (or if you are inside a
+ <code class="inline-code"><#output_format
+ "XML"><em class="code-color">...</em></#output_format></code>
+ block), <code class="inline-code">interpret</code> calls in it will produce
+ directives with XML output format.</p>

+ <strong class="callout-label">Note:</strong>
+
+ <p>This built-in is available since FreeMarker 2.3.24.</p>
+ </div>
+
+
+ <p>Returns the markup stored inside a <a href="dgui_misc_autoescaping.html#dgui_misc_autoescaping_movalues">markup output value</a>
+ as string. This is useful if the value has to be passed to a Java
+ method for a <code class="inline-code">String</code> parameter, or if we want to
+ manipulate the markup directly in the template. Note that the
+ resulting string can be converted back to markup output value with
+ <a href="ref_builtins_string.html#ref_builtin_no_esc"><code>?no_esc</code></a>.</p>
+
+
+
+
+
+<h2 class="content-header header-section2" id="ref_builtin_namespace">namespace</h2>
+
+
+
+
+ <p>This built-in returns the namespace (i.e. the
+ "gate" hash to the namespace) associated with a macro
+ or function variable. You can use it with macros and functions
+ only.</p>
+
+
+
+
+
+<h2 class="content-header header-section2" id="ref_builtin_new">new</h2>
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ <p>This is to create a variable of a certain
+ <code class="inline-code">TemplateModel</code> implementation.</p>
+
+ <p>On the left side of <code class="inline-code">?</code> you specify a string,
+ the full-qualified class name of a <code class="inline-code">TemplateModel</code>
+ implementation. The result is a method variable that calls the
+ constructor, and returns the new variable.</p>
+
+ <p>Example:</p>
+
+
+
+<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-template"><#-- Creates an user-defined directive be calling the parameterless constructor of the class -->
+<#assign word_wrapp = "com.acmee.freemarker.WordWrapperDirective"?new()>
+<#-- Creates an user-defined directive be calling the constructor with one numerical argument -->
+<#assign word_wrapp_narrow = "com.acmee.freemarker.WordWrapperDirective"?new(40)></pre></div>
+
+ <p>For more information about how the constructor parameters are
+ unwrapped and how overloaded constructor is chosen, read: <a href="pgui_misc_beanwrapper.html">Programmer's Guide/Miscellaneous/Bean wrapper</a></p>
+
+ <p>This built-in can be a security concern because the template
+ author can create arbitrary Java objects and then use them, as far
+ as they implement <code class="inline-code">TemplateModel</code>. Also the
+ template author can trigger static initialization for classes that
+ don't even implement <code class="inline-code">TemplateModel</code>. You can
+ (since 2.3.17) restrict the classes accessible with this built-in
+ using
+ <code class="inline-code">Configuration.setNewBuiltinClassResolver(TemplateClassResolver)</code>
+ or the <code class="inline-code">new_builtin_class_resolver</code> setting. See
+ the Java API docs for more information. If you are allowing
+ not-so-much-trusted users to upload templates then you should
+ definitely look into this topic.</p>
+
+
+
+
+
+<h2 class="content-header header-section2" id="ref_builtin_numToDate">number_to_date, number_to_time, number_to_datetime</h2>
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ <p>These are used to convert a number (usually a Java
+ <code class="inline-code">long</code>) to a date, time or date-time, respectively.
+ This does them same as <code class="inline-code">new java.util.Date(long)</code>
+ in Java, that is, the number is interpreted as the milliseconds
+ passed since the epoch. The number can be anything and of any type
+ as far as its value fits into a <code class="inline-code">long</code>. If the
+ number isn't a whole number, it will be rounded to whole with
+ half-up rule.</p>
+
+ <p>Example:</p>
+
+
+
+<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-template">${1305575275540?number_to_datetime}
+${1305575275540?number_to_date}
+${1305575275540?number_to_time}</pre></div>
+
+ <p>The output will be something like this (depending on the
+ current locale and time zone):</p>
+
+
+
+<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-output">May 16, 2011 3:47:55 PM

+ <p>Loop variable built-ins only exists since FreeMarker

+ </div>
+<p>These built-ins you can only use with the loop variable of the
+ <a href="ref_directive_list.html"><code>list</code> and
+ <code>items</code> directives</a> (and of the deprecated
+ <code class="inline-code">foreach</code> directive). Some explanation of that
+ follows (<code class="inline-code"><em class="code-color">loopVar</em>?index</code>
+ returns the 0-based index in the listable value we iterate
+ through):</p>
+
+<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-template"><#-- Note: x is a loop variable -->
+<#list ['a', 'b', 'c'] as x>
+ ${x?index}
+</#list></pre></div>
+
+<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-output">0
+1
+2</pre></div><p>When the <code class="inline-code">list</code> directive doesn't specify the
+ loop variable, these built-ins are used with the loop variable of the
+ <code class="inline-code">items</code> directive:</p>
+
+<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-template"><#list ['a', 'b', 'c']>
+ <ul>
+ <#items as x>
+ <li>${x?index}</li>
+ </#items>
+ </ul>
+</#list></pre></div><p>Loop variable built-ins only use the <em>name</em>
+ of loop variable, so that they can identify the related ongoing
+ iteration. They don't read the <em>value</em> of the loop
+ variable. Hence, this is a parsing error:</p>
+
+<div class="code-wrapper"><pre class="code-block code-template"><#list ['a', 'b', 'c'] as x>
+ <#assign y = x>
+ ${y?index} <#-- ERROR: y isn't a loop variable -->
