Templates

The plugin support 4 template engines:

• ejs
• handlebars - default

• mustache

For each template engine error log entry will be generated if the template fails to compile/render.

Examples how to render list of names for all entities in the notification for each template engine:

EJS

<ul><% entities.forEach((entity,index) => {%>
  <li><%= entity.details.name %></li><% }) %>
</ul>

Handlebars

<ul>
  {{#each entities}}
    <li>{{this.details.name}}</li>
  {{/each}}
</ul>

Pug

ul
  each n in entities
    li= n.details.name

Mustache

<ul>
  {{#entities}}
    <li>{{details.name}}</li>
  {{/entities}}
</ul>
