express-pjs v0.1.4

PHPJS

JavaScript variant of PHP

Run the index.js for a demonstration!

Why?

I liked that with PHP you could add server-side code to a file, but was far more familiar with JavaScript and I wanted to use it server-side, client-size and in files.

How do I use it?

Still in early development. Take a look at the examples first.

In your project with Express you can use PJS as an templating engine. You need to run the init function with the Express app as the first argument. This will setup the automatic parsing of any response that gets send with a .pjs extension. If you don't use Express you can still use it by running the parse function with the contents of the file you want to parse. Everything between the opening (<?PJS) and the closing (?>) PJS tags in these files will be run as JavaScript code on the server.

The library has built in print and println functions for writing to the page. It works the same as PHP's echo construct. The library also includes a built in printp function. This is used for writing text inside paragraph element to the page.

Notes

• The print function in asynchronous functions is not supported. Synchronous functions are supported, so fs.readdirSync for example is supported.
