Cardito

A program for building game cards based on the templito library.

It reads cards and the info about them from a card file, and can then produce an SVG with the cards laid out in an easily printable format.

The easiest way to use it is to install it with:

cargo install -u cardito

Once installed you can run cardito init which will create the following files:

main.ito:

{{export 
    card_files = ["cards.crd"];
    card_width = 45;
    card_height= 60;
    padding = 1;
    margin=4;
}}

{{@export extra -}}
    {{# Anything to appear on every page once #}}
{{- /export}}

{{global front}}
    <rect {{xywh 0 0 45 60}} {{fl_stk .color "black" 2}} />
    <text {{font 3 "Arial"}} {{xy 22.5 20}} text-anchor="middle" {{fl_stk "black" "none" 0}}>{{.Name}}:£{{.price}}</text>
{{/global}}

{{global back}}
    <rect {{xywh 0 0 45 60}} {{fl_stk "blue" "black" 2}} />
{{/global}}

and cards.crd

@param price

2*Apple ,100:
.color : "red"

3*Pear, 50:
.color : "green"

Edit the files to discribe the cards you want.

Then call cardito build -f main.ito

This will output svgs with the cards laid out nicely

Change Log

v 0.2.0

Now uses updated Card Format and updated Templito Format. to update:

param => @param var => no longer exists as it was not useful, but you can use @def to create a base case. default => @def @const now creates a single value, which can be used in future cards with a $

Templito templates should still work but now allow for Map based patterns, and "as" can be used.

{{as $a:PATTERN}}job{{/as}}

is shorthand for 

{{switch $a}}{{case PATTERN}}job{{switch}}
