API

Echo

Instead of defining some fancy syntax for inserting variables to the output, echo, a good old JavaScript function, has provided to handle this job.

`Here is the ${' echo(username) '}`

Include

To insert contents from another file.

<div>
${' include("./header.js", { title: title }) '}
${' posts.forEach(post => { '}
  <p>
  ${ 'include("./post.js", { post: post }) '}
  </p>
${' } '}
</div>

To use this feature you have to pass a require function when rendering. See Example. The first argument is the path of included file, the second is the values passed to it.
