Using the Template API to display properties

This example uses an Embedded API (Template API) to display properties for a given document.

The template iterates over all the properties for a node called document and renders the values as appropriate for the data types returned.

The following code (documentProperties.ftl) gets a list that displays all the property names for a document.

                        
<table>
 <#-- Get a list of all the property names for the document -->  
 <#assign props = document.properties?keys>  
 <#list props as t>
    <#-- If the property exists -->
    <#if document.properties[t]?exists>
       <#-- If it is a date, format it accordingly-->
       <#if document.properties[t]?is_date>
       <tr><td>${t} = ${document.properties[t]?date}</td></tr>
       
       <#-- If it is a boolean, format it accordingly-->
       <#elseif document.properties[t]?is_boolean>
       <tr><td>${t} = ${document.properties[t]?string("yes", "no")}</td></tr>
       
       <#-- Otherwise treat it as a string -->
       <#else>
       <tr><td>${t} = ${document.properties[t]}</td></tr>
       </#if>
    </#if>
 </#list>
 </table>
