Template

Templating engine. The Yandex.Maps API supports the base syntax for the Twig/Django Templates languages. The following operations are supported:

• Substitution value - {{ field_name }}.
• If the requested data field is missing or has an empty value you can provide the default value - {{ field_name|default:default_value }} The default value can be a number, a string (in quotes) or a different data field.
• By default the value is processed by the escape function to prevent XSS vulnerabilities. To undo this behavior, add the "raw" filter - {{ field_name|default: default_value|raw }}.
• You can use the template.filtersStorage to create your own filters and use them as described above.
• To insert a sub layout, use a construction like {% include field_name_or_key %}. The templating engine when it founds such a construction, will try to use the value in the field as a key of the nested layout.
• The condition is written as:

  {% if condition %} ... {% else %} ... {% endif %} or you can ommit the else or elseif block. You can use any constructions of the template language inside if, else and elseif blocks.

• Use the for construction to iterate an array or an object.

  {% for value in array_or_hash %} ... {% endfor %}. You can use any constructions of the template language inside the for block.

• To obtain the iteration index in the array or the field name in the hash, use the following construction:

  {% for key, value in array_or_hash %} ... {% endfor %}.

• You can turn on additional security check for dangerous attributes 'onload' and 'onerror' by including sanitize comment in your template. With this comment template builder will throw error if it meets one of these attributes, without it there will be a warning in console.

var result = template.build(data);
console.log(result.text); // Outputs "Viktor" to the console.

2.

// Let's assume we have 3 user groups and we need to print an individual greeting for each group.
var data = new ymaps.data.Manager({
