ejs-next
EJS next generation
Install
npm install ejs-nextChanges
- Using async actions with promises (on files actions)
- Improved performances on parser
- Introduce a new JS tags for capturing outputs
- Introduce new functions :
layout&block
Syntax
The syntax is the same as classic EJS, with the introduction of a little new content wrapper :
{@: start to capture output@}: returns the captured output
Usage :
<html>
... <%- include('foo.ejs', {
inner: function(name) => {@
%>
Hello <%= name %>
<%
@}
}) %>
</html>
--- and foo.ejs :
<%= inner('John Smith'); %>Layout
The layout will replace the output with the specified file, and put the current output into a contents variable.
<%_ layout('main') _%>
Here is my page content
--- main.ejs :
<body>
<%- contents %>
</body>Block
The block registers/concatenate the specified output in order to output it elsewhere. Note that by using promise actions the orders in which statements are called may not be preserved.
<%_ block('js', '<script src="...">') _%>
Here is my page content
--- main.ejs :
<body>
<%- js %>
</body>Express usage
var ejs = require("ejs-next");
app.set("views", path.join(__dirname, "views"));
app.engine("ejs", ejs.__express);
