[plt-scheme] Template Forms
The template documentation in Web: PLT Web Applications includes a little
blurb about the in special form that wraps a for/list to make it easier to
use. Are there other helper forms for other binding forms. In particular,
are there any that wrap simple let or let-values?
A real example from a template that generates Graphviz output:
The following uses in and looks nice. It binds the values and generates the
line for each query result.
@in[(action-class-id action-class-label) (in-query `(action-class ,rule-id
?id ?label))]{
"@|rule-id|":"action-class" -> "@|action-class-id|" [style=dashed];
}
But, since there should be exactly one result to that query and there is a
lighter-weight function, query-values, that has more appropriate semantics -
in particular, it will generate an error if there is not exactly one result,
I'd rather use let-values than the sequencing form.
@let-values[(((action-class-id action-class-label) (query-values
`(action-class ,rule-id ?id ?label))))]{
@list{
"@|rule-id|":"action-class" -> "@|action-class-id|" [style=dashed];
}}
works just fine, but is rather cumbersome. Is there a better way to write
this using @ syntax?
