YATE - Yet Another Template Engine

YATE is a lightweight and efficient template engine for JavaScript applications. It allows you to compile HTML-based templates into JavaScript functions for fast rendering.

Features

• HTML-based template syntax
• Compiles templates to JavaScript functions
• Supports both browser and Node.js environments
• Asynchronous file processing
• Modular output for easy integration

Installation

npm install yate

Usage

Node.js

const yate = require('yate');
const compile = require('yate/compile');

// Compile templates
compile(['template1.html', 'template2.html'], true)
  .then((compiledTemplates) => {
    // Use compiled templates
    const templates = yate.pool(compiledTemplates);
    const result = templates.template1({ data: 'example' });
    console.log(result);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error('Compilation error:', error);
  });

Browser

<script src="yate.js"></script>
<script src="compiled-templates.js"></script>
<script>
  // Use compiled templates
  const result = window.templates.template1({ data: 'example' });
  console.log(result);
</script>

API

compile(files, asModule)

Compiles the specified template files.

• files: A single file path or an array of file paths to compile.
• asModule: Boolean indicating whether to output as a Node.js module (true) or browser-ready code (false).

Returns a Promise that resolves to the compiled template code.

yate.pool(templateList)

Creates a pool of compiled templates.

• templateList: An object containing compiled template functions.

Returns an object with methods to render the compiled templates.

Template Syntax

YATE uses HTML-based syntax for templates. Detailed documentation on the template syntax will be provided separately.
