Steroid

Vomit server side engine

Steroid is a powerful HTML-based templating engine that runs on Node.js and in the browser. It does all the heavy lifting for you and supports streaming, partials, asynchronous rendering (with promises and streams) and more.

Usage

No weird syntax or compilation. Steroid is pure HTML and JavaScript and a minute is enough to get your hands on it.

const html = require('steroid')
const http = require('http')

http.createServer((req, res) => {
  const country = 'France'
  
  // steroid returns a stream
  html`
    <article>
      <h2>Hello ${country}</h2>
      ${fetch('/api/weather?' + country).then(weather)}
    </article>
  `.pipe(res)
}).listen(3000)


function weather(forecast) {
  return html`
  <div class="weather">
    Weather is ${forecast.result}
    <ul>${forecast.cities.map(city)}</ul>
  </div>
  `
}

function city(name) {
  return html`<li>${name}</li>`
}

Even if Steroid works in your browser, we recommend you to use vomit to build rich applications in the front end. Vomit uses the same syntax than Steroid but leverage DOM instead of Streams.
