Latte Files

Latte 3.1.3 brings two powerful new engine features – automatic dedentation and scoped loop variables – alongside a fresh batch of filters that make everyday template work smoother.

✨ New Features

• Feature::Dedent – removes structural indentation from paired tag content, so your generated HTML stays clean regardless of how deeply you nest your Latte tags
• Feature::ScopedLoopVariables – variables introduced by {foreach} now live only inside the loop body, preventing accidental leaks into the surrounding scope (supports destructuring via ListNode too)
• |commas filter – joins array elements with , and supports a custom last-item glue (e.g. {$items|commas:' and '} → a, b and c)
• |column filter – extracts values from a single column of a multidimensional array or iterable, mirroring PHP's array_column()
• |limit filter – a friendlier wrapper around |slice with swapped arguments: limit first, offset second, and keys preserved by default
• |slice – now works with iterators, not just arrays and strings
• |padLeft, |padRight – now accept int|float values in addition to strings (#408)

♻️ Code Refactoring

• Helpers::sortBeforeAfter() – reimplemented using Kahn's algorithm for topological sorting, making extension ordering both faster and more correct
• Engine::addDefaultExtensions() – extracted into its own method for better extensibility
