Simplistic Template Language
Exkited is a minimalistic templating language that lets you generate markup with JavaScript.
Example: .exkited File
<html>
<div class="title">
<@ return data.title @> // A 'data' object may be passed rendering.
</div>
<@
let result = '';
for(let x=0;x<10;x++) {
for(let i=0;i<4;i++) {
for(let j=0;j<4;j++){
result += `<div>@{i+j}</div>`;
}
}
}
return result;
@>
<div class="average-price">
<@ return data.prices.reduce((accum, val) => accum += val) / data.prices.length; @>
</div>
<div class="day-of-week">
<@
switch(data.dayIdx) {
case 0:
return 'Sunday';
case 1:
return 'Monday';
case 2:
return 'Tuesday';
case 3:
return 'Wednesday';
case 4:
return 'Thursday';
case 5:
return 'Friday';
case 6:
return 'Saturday';
}
@>
</div>
</html>Example: Using include(...)
function include(path)
Parameter "path" is the filepath to the file which you want to include.
Returns a processed string of the given file.
...
<@ return include('./views/somefile.exkited'); @>
...Example: Using as a Standalone
npm install exkitedconst exkited = require('exkited');
...
exkited.renderFile(
'./views/example.exkited',
{ a: 0, dayIdx: 3, prices: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] },
(err, rendered) => {
...
}
);
...Example: Pairing with Express.js
npm install exkited express compressionconst http = require('http');
const express = require('express');
const compression = require('compression');
const app = express();
app.use(compression());
app.set('view engine', 'exkited');
app.set('views', './views');
let server = http.createServer(app).listen(8888, '127.0.0.1');
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.render('basic', {}, function(err, html) {
res.send(html);
});
});Benchmarks
Exkited vs. ejs
When Exkited and ejs are both paired with express.js, Exkited has a consistent "Waiting (TTFB)" that's ~4.5x faster than ejs.
Exkited vs. Pug
When Exkited and Pug are both paired with express.js, Exkited has a consistent "Waiting (TTFB)" that's ~1.7x faster than Pug.
More will be coming soon.
