MTLBlock

struct MTLBlock

Overview

Blocks group statements together for execution as a unit, supporting both inlined blocks (no indentation) and standard blocks (with indentation). They form the body of templates, loops, conditionals, and other control structures.

Overview

MTL blocks serve multiple purposes:

• Template bodies: The main content of a template

• Control flow bodies: Content within for loops, if statements, etc.

• File blocks: Content to be written to a specific file

• Macro bodies: Reusable content patterns

Example Usage

// Simple text block
let textBlock = MTLBlock(statements: [
    MTLTextStatement(value: "public class "),
    MTLExpressionStatement(expression: nameExpr),
    MTLTextStatement(value: " {"),
    MTLNewLineStatement()
])

// Inlined block (no indentation changes)
let inlinedBlock = MTLBlock(
    statements: [
        MTLTextStatement(value: "inline content")
    ],
    inlined: true
)
