html-literal v1.1.0

HTML Tagged Template Literal

Tagged template literal for authoring HTML in JavaScript.

Useful for writing HTML as simple template tag literals that provide syntax highlighting (through lit-html extension) and some convenience (no need to manually join arrays, JSON-encode objects etc).

• Provides syntax highlighting with VSCode lit-html extension.
• Handles promises, arrays, functions and objects.
• Arrays get automatically joined.
• Objects get automatically displayed as formatted json.
• Works with circular data structures.
• Written in TypeScript, no need for extra typings.
• 100% test coverage.
