Goria Mustache Templating

-- This is in early development if you want to test it now be aware that I update fast and there might be bugs. You can also wait for release 1.0.0 --

What is Goria ?

Goria is a fast and easy to use templating tool based off Mustache, for creating static sites faster !

Just to clarify one thing, Goria is not a js framework nor an interactive site compiler like Svelte; It does have a similar syntax to svelte, and it is a "compiler", but the key difference is that Goria renders your template and then saves it to a static html file. It won't make the data / ui update in real time.

But if you want to use it as a templating engine ( the goria express templating engine is coming soon ) like php you can of course use the JS api instead of the CLI

CLI Usage

First run npm i goria -g Then run goria or goria -d <input folder> -o <output folder> Just typing goria will export and render everything in the "public" directory.

Api Usage

If you want to use goria for let's say an express app as a templating engine, use the coding api.

const goria = require("goria")

The only function you need to know in order to use goria as a parge as an api is transformData(mustache_data,variables--optional) The mustache data is the html file's data and the variables ( optional ) is the the variables that you want to be injected.

Syntax

How does it work ?

This is a typical goria template, let's look at a basic index.html:

<ghead>
	<title>{{company_name}}</title>
</ghead>

<script>
company_name: "GitHabit";
greetings: 'Welcome to '  + $company_name;
staff:
[
	"Some Guy",
	"Another Person",
	"I don't know"
];
</script>

<style>
	body{
	    background-color: aliceblue;
    }
</style>

<content>
   <h1>Our staff</h1>
	    {{#staff}}
		    <h3>{{.}}</h3>
	    {{/staff}}
</content>

You might notice some differences from usual js / mustache implementations ( if you don't know what mustache is you can check their website ) .

Data structuring

In goria data is structured in a simple way :

variable_name : value ; <- this is important

Js Expressions

You might ask yourself how to put some more complex expressions,, such as math, strings and vars, here's how to do it

name : "Sawcce";
message : "Hey " + $name;

Goria uses the $ to declare scoped variables, meaning if you say $name it will get the name var in the template and name will get the name var in the index.js
