Freemarker to JavaScript Code Converter

Overview

The Freemarker to JavaScript Code Converter on the Digital Suite allows you to transform Freemarker templates directly in the online editor. This streamlines the transition to a modern JavaScript environment.

Note: ⚠️ This is a BETA release. Please note that generative AI is prone to hallucinations. Always manually review and test the generated code — it should be treated as initial guidance only, not production-ready output.

Key Features

  • Inline Conversion: Work directly within the integrated editor to convert Freemarker templates to JavaScript.
  • Integrated Preview: View changes in real-time by toggling between the original code and the converted output.
  • Validation and Testing: Test the converted code directly within the script editor before deploying it.

Note:

  • The transcoder’s sole purpose is to convert Freemarker code to JavaScript. It expects raw Freemarker code as input and has not been aligned to respond to human-language questions.
  • Do not use the transcoder for Freemarker scripts that don’t contain actual logic — for example, templated text, connector payloads with Freemarker-injected variables, or simple variable assignments. For simple string templating, it is better to stick with Freemarker, as the resulting JavaScript tends to be more complex and less readable.
  • The transcoder is not designed to generate a massive amount of Javascript code.

How to Use the Converter

  1. Open the Script Editor:

    • Access the script editor within the Digital Suite.
    • Select Freemaker from the language dropdown menu.
    • Click the Convert Code button to access the Code Converter interface.
    • Write the code directly in the editor.

    Example Of Input Freemarker:

<#assign my_array = ["Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"]> <#assign my_list = []> <#list my_array as x> <#assign my_list = my_list + [{ "label": x, "value": x }]> </#list> ${my_list}

  1. Convert the Code:

    • Click the Convert button to execute the conversion.
    • The editor will automatically generate the JavaScript equivalent of the input code.

  2. Review and Adjust:

    • Inspect the converted code to ensure it meets your requirements.
    • Click the Replace button to insert the code in the script editor.
    • Make additional modifications in the editor if needed.

  3. Test the Code:

    • Use the Test Code tab to validate the behavior of the converted code in real-time.

  4. Save and Apply:

    • Once satisfied with the results, save the changes to integrate them into your workflow.
