@push.rocks/smartmustache

templates done right

Install

To install @push.rocks/smartmustache, use npm:

npm install @push.rocks/smartmustache

Ensure you have Node.js and npm installed on your system before running the install command.

Usage

To use @push.rocks/smartmustache in your project, follow these examples to understand how to integrate and utilize the library with its core functionalities. @push.rocks/smartmustache leverages Handlebars for templating, providing a seamless and efficient way to render dynamic content.

Setting Up Your Project

First, ensure your project is set up to use ECMAScript modules (ESM) and TypeScript. Your tsconfig.json should include:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "ESNext",
    "target": "es2020",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true
  }
}

This setup will allow you to use ESM syntax in your TypeScript files efficiently.

Basic Templating

Let's start with a basic example of using @push.rocks/smartmustache to apply data to a template string.

  1. Create a New Template Instance:

First, import SmartMustache and create an instance by passing a template string to its constructor.

import { SmartMustache } from '@push.rocks/smartmustache';

const template = 'Hello, {{name}}! Welcome to {{location}}.';
const myTemplate = new SmartMustache(template);
  1. Apply Data to the Template:

Next, apply data to your template using the applyData method.

const result = myTemplate.applyData({
  name: 'John Doe',
  location: 'SmartMustache World'
});

console.log(result); // Outputs: Hello, John Doe! Welcome to SmartMustache World.

Advanced Usage

Conditional Statements and Loops:

Handlebars syntax allows for conditionals and loops. @push.rocks/smartmustache fully supports these Handlebars features.

  • Conditionals:

Consider you have a template that should render content based on certain conditions.

const conditionalTemplate = new SmartMustache(`
  {{#if isAdmin}}
    <p>Welcome, admin.</p>
  {{else}}
    <p>Welcome, user.</p>
  {{/if}}
`);

console.log(conditionalTemplate.applyData({ isAdmin: true }));
  • Loops:

Similarly, if you'd like to iterate over an array of items:

const loopTemplate = new SmartMustache(`
  <ul>
    {{#each items}}
      <li>{{this}}</li>
    {{/each}}
  </ul>
`);

console.log(loopTemplate.applyData({
  items: ['Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3']
}));

Providing Helpers

@push.rocks/smartmustache allows integrating Handlebars helpers to extend templating capabilities.

import Handlebars from 'handlebars';

// Register a Handlebars helper
Handlebars.registerHelper('uppercase', function(aString) {
  return aString.toUpperCase();
});

const helperTemplate = new SmartMustache('Hello, {{uppercase name}}!');
console.log(helperTemplate.applyData({ name: 'john' })); // Outputs: Hello, JOHN!

Reusing Templates

You can reuse an instance of SmartMustache by setting a new template string.

myTemplate.setTemplate('Goodbye, {{name}}. See you in {{location}}.');
console.log(myTemplate.applyData({
  name: 'Jane Doe',
  location: 'the virtual world'
}));

Conclusion

@push.rocks/smartmustache provides a powerful and intuitive way to work with templates in your TypeScript projects. By following these guides, you'll be able to implement dynamic content rendering seamlessly. The flexibility of Handlebars within a TypeScript-friendly wrapper accelerates development, ensuring your templates are both manageable and scalable.
