Ejs
EJS is a JavaScript templating engine used to generate HTML by embedding executable JavaScript logic and dynamic data into template files. It functions as both a server-side template processor and a client-side rendering engine, allowing for the creation of dynamic markup in both backend and frontend environments.
The engine supports the creation of modular web layouts through partial template inclusion, where smaller reusable components are inserted into parent pages. Users can modify the template syntax by defining custom delimiters to avoid conflicts with other languages.
The project covers a broad set of capabilities including dynamic value injection, conditional rendering and loops, and in-memory caching of compiled templates. It also provides command-line tools for template compilation and rendering to support build-time static generation of HTML files.
Features
- HTML Rendering - Acts as a JavaScript templating engine for generating HTML responses by executing embedded code.
- HTML Templating Engines - Provides a general-purpose engine for generating dynamic HTML by injecting data and logic into templates.
- Template Compilation - Transforms template strings into executable JavaScript functions for high-performance HTML generation.
- Embedded Template Languages - Implements a template format using embedded JavaScript for logic and dynamic data injection.
- Client-Side Template Rendering - Executes template logic directly in the browser to update the user interface with dynamic data.
- Server-Side Template Engines - Compiles templates into executable functions to render dynamic web responses on the server.
- Reusable UI Components - Enables the creation of modular layouts by inserting reusable template partials into larger pages.
- Data Value Injections - Implements dynamic data injection into templates with support for both escaped and raw HTML output.
- Partial Templates - Supports modularity by allowing reusable template fragments to be nested and resolved recursively.
- Client-Side Template Engines - Functions as a rendering engine that processes dynamic templates directly within the browser.
- Server-Side Rendering - Generates full HTML pages on the server using JavaScript logic before delivering them to the client.
- Template Logic - Allows the use of JavaScript logic, including loops and conditionals, directly within template files.
- Template Compilation Caches - Caches compiled JavaScript render functions in memory to avoid redundant parsing and compilation.
- Build-Time Asset Processing - Transforms source templates into final production HTML files during the build phase.
- Template Compilation Tools - Provides a command-line tool to convert templates into executable code during the build process.
- HTML Template Renderers - Ships a command-line utility to generate HTML files by merging template paths with data files.
- Custom Template Delimiters - Allows users to customize the opening and closing tags of executable blocks to prevent conflicts with other languages.
- Template Engines - Efficient JavaScript templating.
- Templating - Simple and unopinionated templating language.
- Templating Engines - Effective JavaScript templating.
