# CodeMirror 2: Velocity mode

## Velocity Code Demo #* based on PL/SQL mode by Peter Raganitsch, adapted to Velocity by Steve O'Hara ( http://www.pivotal-solutions.co.uk ) August 2011 *# #* This is a multiline comment. This is the second line *# #[[ hello steve This has invalid syntax that would normally need "poor man's escaping" like: #define() ${blah ]]# #include( "disclaimer.txt" "opinion.txt" ) #include( $foo $bar ) #parse( "lecorbusier.vm" ) #parse( $foo ) #evaluate( 'string with VTL #if(true)will be displayed#end' ) #define( $hello ) Hello $who #end #set( $who = "World!") $hello ## displays Hello World! #foreach( $customer in $customerList ) $foreach.count $customer.Name #if( $foo == ${bar}) it's true! #break #{else} it's not! #stop #end #if ($foreach.parent.hasNext) $velocityCount #end #end $someObject.getValues("this is a string split across lines") #macro( tablerows $color $somelist ) #foreach( $something in $somelist ) <tr><td bgcolor=$color>$something</td></tr> #end #end #tablerows("red" ["dadsdf","dsa"]) Variable reference: #set( $monkey = $bill ) String literal: #set( $monkey.Friend = 'monica' ) Property reference: #set( $monkey.Blame = $whitehouse.Leak ) Method reference: #set( $monkey.Plan = $spindoctor.weave($web) ) Number literal: #set( $monkey.Number = 123 ) Range operator: #set( $monkey.Numbers = [1..3] ) Object list: #set( $monkey.Say = ["Not", $my, "fault"] ) Object map: #set( $monkey.Map = {"banana" : "good", "roast beef" : "bad"}) The RHS can also be a simple arithmetic expression, such as: Addition: #set( $value = $foo + 1 ) Subtraction: #set( $value = $bar - 1 ) Multiplication: #set( $value = $foo * $bar ) Division: #set( $value = $foo / $bar ) Remainder: #set( $value = $foo % $bar )
