Simple static HTML render, using templates and variables
Instalation
npm install @jkob/node-html-renderer --saveUsage in code
const HtmlRenderer = require('node-html-renderer');
const htmlRenderer = new HtmlRenderer({
outputDirectory: HtmlRenderer.realPath('./output'),
templatesDirectory: HtmlRenderer.realPath('./templates'),
resourcesUrl: '../public' // any path to be resolved in browser, relative to index.html
});
htmlRenderer
.render('page', {
title: 'Page Title',
posts: [
{ title: 'Post 1' },
{ title: 'Post 2' },
]
})
.save('index);Above example will create index.html file with parsed content in ./output directory. Template page will be resolved to ./templates/page.html file
Template syntax
Templates are simple HTML files with extra syntax recognized by HTML Renderer.
Variables
Variables are defined with second argument to render method. Variable name is a key from object argument.
<div>
#title
</div>When using with render('', { title: 'Example Title' }), will render:
<div>
Example Title
</div>Templates
HTML Renderer has support for templates, and templates list.
Syntax is:
@[template_name]:[variable_name]for example
@postList:postswill use postList template with posts variable.
If variable will be an array, template will be resolved as list.
Resource resolver
Rules
- all occurences of
!!will be changed to definedresourcesUrl - same rules as variables but prefix is
!, for example!imageVariable. This will also useresourcesUrlto prefix resource with correct page. Use relative resource path here.
