jilto
JavaScript Isomorphic Literal Template Objects (jilto) is a lightweight JavaScript library designed for creating HTML content using template literals. It simplifies the process of generating dynamic, isomorphic HTML content, making it easier for developers to write clean and maintainable code for both server-side and client-side rendering in web applications.
Features
- Isomorphic Rendering: Works seamlessly in both server-side (Node.js) and client-side environments.
- Simple Syntax: Utilizes JavaScript template literals for intuitive and readable HTML generation.
- Lightweight: Minimal overhead, focusing solely on HTML generation.
- Flexible: Easily integrate with existing JavaScript projects or frameworks.
Installation
Install jilto via npm:
npm install jiltoCDN
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]"></script>Usage
Below are some examples of how jilto can be used to generate various HTML elements:
createElement
const element = createElement('div', { class: 'my-class', id: 'my-id' }, 'Hello World!');
console.log(element); // Output: <div class="my-class" id="my-id">Hello World!</div>
generateList
const list = generateList({
items: [{ content: 'Item 1', id: 'item1' }, { content: 'Item 2', id: 'item2' }],
ulClass: 'my-ul-class',
liClass: 'my-li-class',
ulId: 'my-ul-id'
});
console.log(list); // Output: <ul class="my-ul-class" id="my-ul-id"><li class="my-li-class" id="item1">Item 1</li><li class="my-li-class" id="item2">Item 2</li></ul>
generateTable
const table = generateTable({
data: [['Cell 1', 'Cell 2'], ['Cell 3', 'Cell 4']],
tableClass: 'my-table-class',
tableId: 'my-table-id'
});
console.log(table); // Output: <table class="my-table-class" id="my-table-id"><tr><td>Cell 1</td><td>Cell 2</td></tr><tr><td>Cell 3</td><td>Cell 4</td></tr></table>
generateParagraph
const paragraph = generateParagraph({ text: 'This is a paragraph.', pClass: 'my-p-class', pId: 'my-p-id' });
console.log(paragraph); // Output: <p class="my-p-class" id="my-p-id">This is a paragraph.</p>
generateLinks
const links = generateLinks({
lstLinks: [{ href: '/home', text: 'Home', id: 'link1' }, { href: '/about', text: 'About', id: 'link2' }],
linkClass: 'my-link-class',
containerId: 'my-container-id'
});
console.log(links); // Output: <div class="my-link-class" id="my-container-id"><a href="/home" class="my-link-class" id="link1">Home</a><a href="/about" class="my-link-class" id="link2">About</a></div>generateHref
const href = generateHref({ url: '/home', text: 'Home', linkClass: 'my-href-class', linkId: 'my-href-id' });
console.log(href); // Output: <a href="/home" class="my-href-class" id="my-href-id">Home</a>generateNavbar
const navbar = generateNavbar({
links: [{ href: '/home', text: 'Home', id: 'navlink1' }, { href: '/about', text: 'About', id: 'navlink2' }],
navClass: 'my-nav-class',
linkClass: 'my-nav-link-class',
navId: 'my-nav-id'
});
console.log(navbar); // Output: <nav class="my-nav-class" id="my-nav-id"><a href="/home" class="my-nav-link-class" id="navlink1">Home</a><a href="/about" class="my-nav-link-class" id="navlink2">About</a></nav>generateDiv
const div = generateDiv({ content: 'This is a div.', divClass: 'my-div-class', divId: 'my-div-id' });
console.log(div); // Output: <div class="my-div-class" id="my-div-id">This is a div.</div>generateInput
const input = generateInput({
inputType: 'text',
inputName: 'myInput',
inputValue: 'Hello',
inputClass: 'my-input-class',
placeholder: 'Enter text',
inputId: 'my-input-id'
});
console.log(input); // Output: <input type="text" name="myInput" value="Hello" class="my-input-class" placeholder="Enter text" id="my-input-id">generateHtmlPage
const htmlPage = generateHtmlPage({
pageTitle: 'My Page',
headHtml: '<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">',
contentHtml: '<h1>Welcome to My Page</h1>'
