As swig is not maintained anymore, we decided to continue their awesome work.

Swig

Swig is an awesome, Django/Jinja-like template engine for node.js.

• Object-Oriented template inheritance.
• Apply filters and transformations to output in your templates.
• Automatically escapes all output for safe HTML rendering.
• Lots of iteration and conditionals supported.

Documentation

All documentation can be viewed online on the Swig Website.

Basic Example

Template code

<h1>{{ pagename|title }}</h1>
<ul>
{% for author in authors %}
    <li{% if loop.first %} class="first"{% endif %}>{{ author }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

node.js code

var swig  = require('swig');
var template = swig.compileFile('/absolute/path/to/template.html');
var output = template({
    pagename: 'awesome people',
    authors: ['Paul', 'Jim', 'Jane']
});

Output

<h1>Awesome People</h1>
<ul>
    <li class="first">Paul</li>
    <li>Jim</li>
    <li>Jane</li>
</ul>

For working example see examples/basic

How it works

Swig reads template files and translates them into cached javascript functions. When we later render a template we call the evaluated function, passing a context object as an argument.
