Knife Templating Engine (JS)

Blade, but smaller...

I had to develop a small template engine, so here it is. I like blade, so the syntax is pretty similar. This is built to be extensive so you can do pretty much anything you like...

Basic Understanding

This works by simply replacing a template string by a function, which, given a context, returns the rendered html.

The engine is written in typescript so you get all the nice definitions

Usage

This package is sup^posed to be working on both NodeJS and in browsers.

Just...

npm install knifejs

... and budle it or use it or just...

<script src="./dist/knife.js"></script>
<script>const { KnifeEngine } = knife;</script>

Interpolation

You can eaily interpolate any constant, variable, function result or basically any expression that returns something :

<h1>{{ hasTitle ? title : 'Hello' }}</h1>

Directives

A few basic directives are already built in and I plan to maybe add more :

Foreach

PHP inspired foreach loop

@foreach(lines as line)
   {{ line }}
@endforeach

For

Basic for loop

@for(let i; i < 0; i++)
   {{ i }}
@endfor

Conditionnals

Simple boolean operations

@if (wow == true)
    Wow !!
@elseif (super == true)
    Super !!
@else
    Oh no :(
@endif

License

Just ask me if you plan to use this commercially.

Thanks.
