nte v1.1.0
NTE
A super simple, easily extensible and inspirational template engine for Node.js!
NTE stands for Node.js Template Engine.
Features:
- parse templates thanks to vm.runInContext
- bidirectional data communication
- light footprint (the code is only 109 lines!)
- coming soon allow to choose between
vm.runInContext(code, contextifiedSandbox[, options])
vm.runInDebugContext(code)
vm.runInNewContext(code[, sandbox][, options])
vm.runInThisContext(code[, options])(now it relies only upon runInContext)
- coming soon include directives
Installation
npm install nte --saveAPIs
Node
nte.linkExpress(expressObject, templatesFolder)link express to NTE to deliver compiled tempaltes
nte.renderFile(filePath, globals);take the specified file and compile it using the variables passed with the "globals" parameter
Template
echo(string)print some text to the output buffer.
Usage
Server code (/server.js)
// initialization code
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var nte = require("nte");
// if you want express support:
// nte.linkExpress(expressObject, templatesFolder);
nte.linkExpress(app, "public");
// serve as string
app.get('/NTEPlain', function (req, res) {
var myTpl = nte.renderFile(__dirname + "/public/myTpl.nte", {username: "john.doe"});
res.end(myTpl);
});
// serve with express
app.get('/NTEExpress', function (req, res) {
res.render('myTpl', {username: "john.doe"});
});
// *** LISTENING ***
var server = app.listen(8081, function () {
var host = server.address().address;
var port = server.address().port;
console.log("Listening at http://%s:%s", host, port);
});Template Code (/public/myTpl.nte)
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>hello world</title>
</head>
<body>
<?node var foo = 2; foo; echo(" " + (foo++) + " "); foo++; echo(foo); ?>

<?node echo(foo); ?>
</body>

- 1.1.0 Performance improvements: Not using regex for parsing anymore saving performance on PREG overhead. Simple string checks are now performed. I know this could lead to parsing problem in some cases but if you know what you're doing this worth it. All the js code is now squashed together and executed at once reducing overhead on the VM calls!
- 1.0.0 Initial release
