[Cppcms-users] Local variables in template

[Tolga H. <fas...@gm...>]

Hello,

First of all thanks for this great project. It works flawlessly and it is
well designed.

I looked through the documentation but I could not find anything about
declaring and using local variables in templates. My exact use case is a
boost::optional variable used as:

<div style="(<% if (const auto var = object->test()) %>property: <%= *var
%>;<% end %>)"></div>


where object->test() returns a boost::optional<std::string>. The problem is
that inside the if statement, *var is automatically replaced with
*content.var. Is there a way to prevent this? What is the correct way of
this kind of usage?


Thanks.
