To install `@push.rocks/smartntml`, you need Node.js and npm installed on your machine. If you have them ready, open your terminal and run the following command:
```bash
npm install @push.rocks/smartntml --save
```
This will add `@push.rocks/smartntml` as a dependency to your project and you're ready to use lit-html in your backend applications.
The core idea behind `@push.rocks/smartntml` is to bring the convenience and developer experience of `lit-html` to server-side rendering. This package leverages the power of `lit-html`'s syntax and data-binding capabilities in a Node.js environment, especially focusing on backend applications that require rendering HTML.
To start using `@push.rocks/smartntml`, you need to familiarize yourself with TypeScript and ESM syntax, as this module is designed to offer the best experience within this ecosystem.
### Setting Up Your Project with TypeScript and ESM
First and foremost, ensure your project is set up to use TypeScript and ECMAScript Modules (ESM). Your `tsconfig.json` should have the following settings:
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "ESNext",
"module": "ESNext",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"esModuleInterop": true,
"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true
}
}
```
### Basic Usage
`@push.rocks/smartntml` simplifies the process of creating and rendering templates. The following example demonstrates how to create a template and render it:
1.**Import the necessary modules**
First, import `Smartntml` and any other module you wish to use:
```typescript
import { Smartntml, deesElement } from '@push.rocks/smartntml';
```
`deesElement` is leveraged for its `TemplateResult` type and `html` tag function, allowing us to define our templates with ease.
2.**Create an instance of Smartntml**
```typescript
const smartNTML = new Smartntml();
```
3.**Define a Template**
You can define a template using the `html` function provided by `deesElement`. This function allows you to embed dynamic content in a concise and readable manner.
```typescript
const myTemplate = deesElement.html`
<div>Welcome to Smartntml!</div>
`;
```
4.**Render the Template**
With a template defined, you can render it to a string. This string can then be sent as a response to a client in a web application or stored for later use.
You can dynamically render arrays or any functional JavaScript within your templates, making it incredibly powerful for generating dynamic HTML content.
### Advanced Usage
`@push.rocks/smartntml` can also integrate with other backend services and capabilities. For instance, using it alongside your server-side logic to render user-specific data, handling form submissions, or creating email templates.
**Note:** Always sanitize any user input before rendering it with `smartntml` to prevent XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) attacks.
### Support and Contribution
`@push.rocks/smartntml` is an open-source project and welcomes contributions from the community. Whether it's improving the documentation, adding new features, or reporting bugs, every contribution helps make `smartntml` better for everyone.

### Final Thoughts
`@push.rocks/smartntml` provides a streamlined and efficient way to use `lit-html`-like syntax for server-rendered templates in Node.js applications. It offers a blend of simplicity and power, enabling developers to create dynamic, data-driven HTML content on the backend with minimal effort.
