Re: Anybody wants anything before 2.3.25? Also, current release notes.

Hello Daniel,

Thanks for the great updates !

I have something in mind concerning the <#sep> directive. Is it
possible to add a startSeparator only when the previous loop produces
content ?
This happens a lot when printing json hash entries. Example :

<#local hobbies=['read', 'code', 'walk']>
{
<#list hobbies as hobby>
    <#if hobby != 'walk>
        'prop${hobby_index}': '${hobby}'<#sep>,<#sep>
    </#if>
</#list>
}

This will result in
{
    'prop0': 'read',
    'prop1': 'walk',
}
Notice the extra comma after 'walk'.

I have a workaround for this issue with adding the comma at the head
if already had an entry:
<#local hasEntry=false>
<#list hobbies as hobby>
    <#if hobby != 'walk>
        <#if hasEntry>,</#if>
        'prop${hobby_index}': '${hobby}'
        <#local hasEntry=true>
    </#if>
</#list>

This will result in
{
    'prop0': 'read'
    ,
    'prop1': 'walk'
}

The ideal directive to emultate the workaround above would look
something like this:
<#list hobbies as hobby>
    <#if hobby != 'walk>
        <#head_sep>,<#head_sep>
        'prop${hobby_index}': '${hobby}'
    </#if>
</#list>
Where <#head_sep> renderes the comma only if the previous loop had an entry.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks !
