Template Variables

Templates use {{variable}} syntax. Variables are resolved at insertion time.

Basic Variables

Variable	Output	Example
{{date}}	Current date	2026-02-22
{{time}}	Current time	14:30:00
{{datetime}}	Date and time	2026-02-22 14:30:00
{{timestamp}}	Unix timestamp	1771948200
{{user}}	Current username	pratham
{{uuid}}	Unique identifier	a1b2c3d4-e5f6-...
{{random}}	Random number (0-1)	0.7342
{{cursor}}	Cursor position after insertion	(places cursor here)

Date Formatting

Chain .format() to any date variable:

{{date.format('MMMM do, yyyy')}}     → February 22nd, 2026
{{date.format('yyyy-MM-dd')}}        → 2026-02-22
{{date.format('dddd, MMM D')}}       → Sunday, Feb 22

Token	Output	Example
yyyy	4-digit year	2026
MM	2-digit month	02
dd	2-digit day	22
MMMM	Full month name	February
MMM	Short month name	Feb
dddd	Full day name	Sunday
ddd	Short day name	Sun

Date Arithmetic

Expression	Result
{{date.add(7, 'days')}}	7 days from now
{{date.subtract(2, 'weeks')}}	2 weeks ago
{{date.addMonths(3)}}	3 months from now
{{date.subtractYears(1)}}	1 year ago

Units: 'days', 'weeks', 'months', 'years'.

Relative Dates

Variable	Result
{{date.tomorrow}}	Tomorrow’s date
{{date.yesterday}}	Yesterday’s date
{{date.nextWeek}}	Same day next week
{{date.lastWeek}}	Same day last week
{{date.nextMonth}}	Same day next month
{{date.lastMonth}}	Same day last month
{{date.nextMonday}}	Next Monday
{{date.previousFriday}}	Previous Friday

Date Properties

Variable	Result
{{date.week}}	Week number (1-53)
{{date.quarter}}	Quarter (1-4)
{{date.weekday}}	Day of week (0-6, 0=Sunday)
{{date.daysInMonth}}	Days in current month
{{date.isLeapYear}}	true or false

Date Boundaries

Variable	Result
{{date.startOfWeek}}	Start of current week
{{date.endOfWeek}}	End of current week
{{date.startOfMonth}}	Start of current month
{{date.endOfMonth}}	End of current month
{{date.startOfYear}}	Start of current year
{{date.endOfYear}}	End of current year

Chaining

Combine operations:

{{date.add(7, 'days').format('MMMM do, yyyy')}}
{{date.nextMonday.format('yyyy-MM-dd')}}
{{date.startOfMonth.format('dddd')}}

Conditionals

{{#if condition}}
  Content shown when true
{{/if}}

{{#if condition}}
  True branch
{{else}}
  False branch
{{/if}}

{{#if condition1}}
  First
{{else if condition2}}
  Second
{{else}}
  Default
{{/if}}

Comparison Operators

Operator	Meaning
==	Equals
!=	Not equals
>	Greater than
>=	Greater or equal
<	Less than
<=	Less or equal

Logical Operators

Operator	Meaning
&&	AND
||	OR

Loops

{{#each items}}
  {{this}}
{{/each}}

{{#each tasks}}
  {{@index}}. {{this.title}}
{{/each}}

Loop Variables

Variable	Description
{{@index}}	Current index (0-based)
{{@first}}	true on first iteration
{{@last}}	true on last iteration
{{@length}}	Total item count
{{@key}}	Current key (for objects)

Arithmetic in loops: {{@index + 1}} produces 1-based numbering.

Filters

Transform values with the pipe (|) operator. Chain multiple filters: {{name | trim | upper | truncate(20)}}.

String Filters

Filter	Output
{{text | upper}}	UPPERCASE
{{text | lower}}	lowercase
{{text | capitalize}}	Capitalize first letter
{{text | title}}	Title Case
{{text | slug}}	url-friendly-slug
{{text | truncate(50)}}	Truncate to 50 chars
{{text | trim}}	Remove whitespace
{{text | replace('old', 'new')}}	Replace text

Array Filters

Filter	Output
{{items | join(', ')}}	Join with comma
{{items | first}}	First item
{{items | last}}	Last item
{{items | length}}	Number of items
{{items | sort}}	Sort alphabetically
{{items | unique}}	Remove duplicates

Number Filters

Filter	Output
{{price | round}}	Round to integer
{{price | floor}}	Round down
{{price | ceil}}	Round up
{{price | format}}	Format with commas (1,000)
{{value | abs}}	Absolute value

Utility Filters

Filter	Output
{{value | default('N/A')}}	Default if empty
{{obj | json}}	JSON string
{{value | typeOf}}	Get type
{{value | isEmpty}}	Check if empty
{{date | dateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd')}}	Format date
{{date | timeAgo}}	"3 days ago"
{{date | fromNow}}	"in 5 days"

Template Includes

Reuse templates inside other templates:

{{include:header}}
{{include:footer}}
{{include:greeting:name=John,time=morning}}

The included template receives the passed variables.

JavaScript Execution

Run inline JavaScript for complex logic:

{{js: return 2 + 2}}
{{js: return new Date().getFullYear()}}
{{js: return Math.random() > 0.5 ? 'Yes' : 'No'}}

Available APIs: Math, Date, JSON, String, Number, Array, Object, plus helpers uuid(), format(), slugify().

Escaping

Show literal template syntax without processing:

\{{date}}

Variables inside fenced code blocks are also not processed.
