Angular Template
Angular-Like HTML Template Engine For NodeJS
Why do I need this? By unknown reason, I feel all server-side template engines are somewhat invasive. It looks like an odd language have been invaded HTML space. The only template I feel good about it is AngularJS, but it's all about client-side, not server-side part. If you are a big fan of AngularJS and you want to use AngularJS as a template engine, this node module will do the job.
This template converts the following one time binding expressions on the server-side;
inline expression
e.g.{{ foo }}
ht-if
attribute
e.g.,<div ht-if="foo">..</div>
ht-repeat
attribute
e.g.,<li ht-repeat="el in list">..</li>
e.g.,<li ht-repeat="(k,v) in list">..</li>
ht-include attribute
e.g.,<div ht-include="'file.html'"></div>
Install
npm install angular-template
Usage
var htmlTemplate = require('angular-template');
htmlTemplate('{{foo}}', {foo:'Hello'}); //Hello
// or
var htmlTemplate = require('angular-template');
var path = "emails/template.html";
var options = {prefix:'ng'}; // so that ng-if, ng-repeat, ng-include would work
htmlTemplate(path, {name:'John'}, options);
Options
prefix: <string>, override default ht prefix with anything, typically ng to reuse angular templates
preprocess: <function>, enables you to modify your template before parsing it as HTML. E.g. You can remove some attributes with RegExp
includeDirs: <array of string>, a list of paths where to look for template
cache: <string>, specify cache key to avoid reading files from disk every time
Converting Angular-Like Expressions
This will convert the angular-like expressions into html.
Curly braces expression.
Assuming foo has the value of
123
Input | Output -------------------------------------+--------------------------------- {{foo}} | 123
ht-if
attributeAssuming foo has value
true
, and bar has valuefalse
Input | Output -------------------------------------+--------------------------------- <p ht-if="foo">SHOW</p> | <p>SHOW</p> <p ht-if="bar">NO SHOW</p> | <p></p>
ht-include
attributeAssuming foo.html has the following contents
<b>file contents</b>
The input and output would like;
Input | Output -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ <p ht-include="'foo.html'"></p> | <p> | <b>file contents</b> | </p>
ht-repeat
attributeAssuming collection has the vaulue of
{a:1, b:2, c:3, d:4, e:5}
Input | Output ----------------------------------------------+------------------------------------ <ul> | <ul> <li ht-repeat="(key, val) in collection"> | <li> a : 1</li> {{key}} : {{val}} | <li> b : 2</li> </li> | <li> c : 3</li> </ul> | <li> d : 4</li> | <li> e : 5</li> | </ul>
Assuming collection has the vaulue of
[1,2,3,4,5]
Input | Output ----------------------------------------------+------------------------------------ <ul> | <ul> <li ht-repeat="num in collection"> | <li> 1 </li> {{num}} | <li> 2 </li> </li> | <li> 3 </li> </ul> | <li> 4 </li> | <li> 5 </li> | </ul>
