@igojs/dust

Async JavaScript template engine for Igo.js, inspired by Dust.js. Zero runtime dependencies, Express integration, single-file component support.

Why

We used Dust.js from 2012 onward, then followed it through its takeover by LinkedIn and its abandonment in 2018. Looking for a replacement that was just as simple, fast, extensible, and ideally syntax-compatible, we couldn't find one — so we rewrote our own. The result has zero runtime dependencies and renders ~30× faster than the original engine.

Install

npm install @igojs/dust

Quick start

const dust = require('@igojs/dust');

dust.configure({ views: './views', cache: true });

const html = await dust.render('Hello, {name}!', { name: 'World' });
// => 'Hello, World!'

const page = await dust.renderFile('home.dust', { title: 'Home' });

As an Express view engine:

const express = require('express');
const dust = require('@igojs/dust');

const app = express();
app.engine('dust', dust.engine);
app.set('view engine', 'dust');
app.set('views', './views');
