tiny-interpolator
###About: A tiny, simple, template engine.
Less than 1Kb! No dependencies! Wow!
###Usage: #####0. Include script in HTML
<script src="interpolator.js"/></script> <!-- or wherever you put it -->#####1. Create a DOM element with a unique id to use as your render-target
<div id="blog"></div>#####2. Write HTML template. ES6 Template Strings are recommended for easy line break support.
let template =
`<div class="post">
<h1>{{title}}</h1>
<h3>{{author.firstName}} {{author.lastName}}</h3>
<p>{{content}}</p>
</div>`#####3. Write data. This should be an array of objects, in any order you wish.
let data = [
{
title: 'My first blog post',
author: {
firstName: 'CoolGuy', //nested values supported!
lastName: 'Jefferson'
},
content: 'Wow, I sure love writing blogs. What a neat new idea.'
},
{
title: 'My second blog post',
author: {
firstName: 'Jared',
lastName: 'Ganglyfingers'
},
content: 'This website is just okay, in my opinion. It could use a comments section'
}
]#####4: Create new Interpolation and render at your target.
let BlogPosts = new Interpolation(data, template);
BlogPosts.renderAt('blog')#####Observe!

###Other notes:
- If you wanted to use this without immediately rendering, it will work fine. You can grab the outputted text for your needs with the exposed
.outputproperty on theInterpolation. - As of
1.0.3you canrequire('tiny-interpolator')inside Node if you desire. - Run tests with
npm test.
