#Templ8 This is a simple templating library for NodeJS It's made of the following items:
- Templates
- Containers/Content
- Data
This library will basically replace template nodes by the specified source and will insert content into containers in the same way
##Example
###templates/index.html
<html>
<template src="head"/>
<body>
<h1>Templ8</h1>
<p>A pretty simple templating engine</p>
<template src="navigation"/>
<p>This is a container called index</p>
<content>
<template src="footer"/>
</body>
</html>###templates/head.html
<meta charset="utf8">
<title>Templating engine test</title>###templates/navigation.html
<nav>
<a href="">Home</a>
<a href="">Link1</a>
<a href="">Link2</a>
</nav>###templates/example.html
<div>
Here's an example on how to pass data
<template src="someOtherCode"/>
<p>See it in action:</p>
<p>Hello! my name is {{user.name}}!</p>
</div>###templates/someOtherCode.html
<pre>
engine.render('index', {
"user": {
"name": "Sean"
}
});
</pre>###templates/footer.html
<div>
This is the footer
</div>###Using express
var express = require("express"),
app = express(),
engine = require("templ8");
const PORT = 4000;
engine = new engine();
//Add HTML comments to show where templates begin and end
engine.verbose = true;
app.get("/", function (req, res) {
engine.render('body', {
"user": {
"name": "Sean"
}
}).then(function (html) {
res.setHeader('content-type', 'text/html');
res.status(200).end(html);
}).catch(function (err) {
res.status(500).end(err);
});
});
app.listen(PORT, function () {
console.log('Example listening at', PORT);
});##Todos
- Use promises in file reading operations
- Implement as an Express rendering engine
