a-simple-templater
Make your routes. Uses mustache templates by default.
Your index.js
var templater = require('a-simple-templater');
var fs = require('fs')
var routes = [
{
url: '/',
template: '<h1>{{title}}</h1>',
data: function (params, cb) {
cb({
title: 'hey whats up ' + params.id
})
}
},
{
url: '/hello/:id',
template: fs.readFileSync('templates/blog.html').toString(),
data: function (params, cb) {
cb({
greeting: 'hello',
place: 'world'
})
},
onrender: function (params, data) {
console.log('hello', data.place, params.id)
}
}
]
templater('#content', routes)Your index.html
<html>
<body>
<div id="content"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>A trick for gh-pages:
Rename index.html to 404.html and then symlink index to 404.
ln -s 404.html index.htmlOverriding the default rendering engine (mustache) to use handlebars, for example:
var Handlebars = require('handlebars')
templater('#content', routes, function (source, data) {
var template = Handlebars.compile(source)
return template(data)
})TODO
- handle 404s correctly. make the 404.html trick for gh-pages not be necessary
