node-html-renderer

Simple static HTML render, using templates and variables

Instalation

npm install @jkob/node-html-renderer --save

Usage in code

const HtmlRenderer = require('node-html-renderer');

const htmlRenderer = new HtmlRenderer({
	outputDirectory: HtmlRenderer.realPath('./output'),
	templatesDirectory: HtmlRenderer.realPath('./templates'),
	resourcesUrl: '../public' // any path to be resolved in browser, relative to index.html
});

htmlRenderer
	.render('page', {
		title: 'Page Title',
		posts: [
			{ title: 'Post 1' },
			{ title: 'Post 2' },
		]
	})
	.save('index);

Above example will create index.html file with parsed content in ./output directory. Template page will be resolved to ./templates/page.html file

Template syntax

Templates are simple HTML files with extra syntax recognized by HTML Renderer.

Variables

Variables are defined with second argument to render method. Variable name is a key from object argument.

<div>
	#title
</div>

When using with render('', { title: 'Example Title' }), will render:

<div>
	Example Title
</div>

Templates

HTML Renderer has support for templates, and templates list.

Syntax is:

@[template_name]:[variable_name]

for example

@postList:posts

will use postList template with posts variable. If variable will be an array, template will be resolved as list.

Resource resolver

Rules

all occurences of !! will be changed to defined resourcesUrl
same rules as variables but prefix is !, for example !imageVariable. This will also use resourcesUrl to prefix resource with correct page. Use relative resource path here.

<!-- templates/image.html -->
<img src="!image" />

<!-- templates/post-content.html -->

<!-- templates/post.html -->
<article>
	<h2>#title</h2>
	@image:* <!-- * is used to pass entire variables scope to template -->
	@post-content:content
</article>

<!-- templates/page.html -->
<html>
	<head>
		<title>#title</title>
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="!!/style.css" />
