## README
# a-simple-templater
[](https://nodei.co/npm/a-simple-templater/)
Make your routes. Uses mustache templates by default.
Your index.js
```js
var templater = require('a-simple-templater');
var fs = require('fs')
var routes = [
{
url: '/',
template: '{{title}}
',
data: function (params, cb) {
cb({
title: 'hey whats up ' + params.id
})
}
},
{
url: '/hello/:id',
template: fs.readFileSync('templates/blog.html').toString(),
data: function (params, cb) {
cb({
greeting: 'hello',
place: 'world'
})
},
onrender: function (params, data) {
console.log('hello', data.place, params.id)
}
}
]
templater('#content', routes)
```
Your index.html
```html
```
### A trick for gh-pages:
Rename index.html to 404.html and then symlink index to 404.
```
ln -s 404.html index.html
```
### Overriding the default rendering engine (mustache) to use handlebars, for example:
```js
var Handlebars = require('handlebars')
templater('#content', routes, function (source, data) {
var template = Handlebars.compile(source)
return template(data)
})
```
### TODO
* handle 404s correctly. make the 404.html trick for gh-pages not be necessary
