Fully powered ES6 JavaScript template engine with halfway-decent syntax.
There are two "builds" available: a Node.js 4+ version with minimal Babel transpiling, and an ES5 version with full Babel transpiling. The unit tests are run on both new and older Node versions.
Templates can use expressions:
Hello, ${ name }
with a data object of { name: 'world' } will result in:
Hello, world
JavaScript blocks with nested document blocks allow a natural expression of loops:
<% for (let item of items) { <:<div>${item}</div>:> } %>
Templates can define layouts for a "template of the template":
<! layout.html !><div>body</div>
If layout.html contains:
<html><head></head><body><**></body></html>
Then the final result is:
<html><head></head><body><div>body</div></body></html>
Templates can also define multiple named blocks for use by the layout template; for example, separate sections for the head and body in an HTML document.
Templates can also include other templates in their output:
before <( include.html )> after
If include.html contains:
middle
Then the final result is:
before middle after
