Hi Emmanuel,

At some point BaseX was changed so that variables must be declared. Now you must declare the variables used in the template. I do this see [1] This loses the advantages of the templates being XML but otherwise works fine.

Hi,

I’ve been trying to use the templating proposed by Andy Bunce here http://cubeb.blogspot.fr/2012/11/xquery-templating-engines-and-txq.html

https://mailman.uni-konstanz.de/pipermail/basex-talk/2012-November/004209.ht...

I’ve tried with txq module in different ways. But, I can’t figure out why I couldn’t reproduce it. Here is the simpler exemple I’ve tried :

In the webapp folder an xml file, named `view1.xml` wich contains :

<div>{map:get($map, 'greeting')}</div>

In webapp a restxq file with :

module namespace test = 'test.test';
import module namespace xquery = "http://basex.org/modules/xquery";

declare function test:render($template as xs:string, $map as map(*)){
   xquery:invoke($template,$map)
};

declare %restxq:path('/test')
        %restxq:GET
function test:test(){
  let $map := map{ "greeting" : "hello",
                   "who": "world"}
  return test:render('view1.xml', $map )
};

Arrêté à /Users/emmanuelchateau/Documents/basex/webapp/view1.xq, 1/15: [XPST0008] Undefined variable $map.

I’m running BaseX version 7.9 Is there still anybody with this kind of templating running ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Thanks a lot ! it solved it. I had tried to change the view file to xquery, but i dont’t know why, i didn’t test with a variable declaration at first.

It works with individual variable declaration (`view1.xq`), but I can’t get back the map itself (in `view2.xq`). Is it a consistent behavior ? Am I missing some Xquery’subtleties here ?

Emmanuel

```xquery

xquery version "3.0" ;

module namespace test = 'test.test'; import module namespace xquery = "http://basex.org/modules/xquery";

declare function test:render($template as xs:string, $map as map(*)){ xquery:invoke($template, $map) };

declare %restxq:path('/test') %restxq:GET function test:test(){ let $map := map{ "greeting" : "hello", "who": "world"} return test:render('view1.xq', $map ) };

declare %restxq:path('/test2') %restxq:GET function test:test2(){ let $map := map{ "greeting" : "hello", "who": "world"} return test:render('view2.xq', $map) };

```

view1.xq ```xquery

xquery version "3.0" ; declare variable $greeting external; declare variable $who external;

<div>{$greeting, $who}</div>

```

view2.xq ```xquery

xquery version "3.0" ; declare variable $map as map(*) external;

<div>{map:get($map, 'greeting')}</div>

```
