Maybe two days ago I expressed interest in creating a dynamic HTML templating system.

Here's what I came up with. template.js only 34 lines. Which is great because JS is ugly and I want the least amount of it as possible.

The idea is you can create hiddent templates, modify them using traditional means (HTML/ CSS), then generate an infinite amount of them in JS.

Btw: Screenshot is two different images stitched together. There isn't JS and HTML in the same place.

    And so, a new js framework was born 👶

    Seems great tho!

    I don't see why something like this would be better than vue or angularjs. If the goal was to prove something to yourself, I guess there is nothing wrong with it (been there personally, had chronic not-invented-here-syndrome).

    @alexbrooklyn @LlamaMan

    It's better because it's 30 lines. And I'm not distributing it as a framework. This is mine.

    @LlamaMan you do realize that vue and angular are not templating frameworks and they both depend on something like mustache, right?

    Just as a totally unrelated BTW, this article highlights the "performance" of vue.js and then shows a graph where it really isn't performant:

    @ganjaman not trying to be rude, but I do not see the core differences.

    @LlamaMan between an extensible single page application framework and a templating engine? Are you mainly backend?

    @ganjaman not really. Is it like the difference between something like ejs and spa framewoks? The screenshot from @AlgoRythm seemed like it was from a spa environment.

    @ganjaman "Are you mainly backend" is the single most savage burn I have every read.

    An html templating system? If you know python, jinja2 is literally exactly that.

    @arcsector Muchos gracias, my backend isn't python and, again, this is completed in 30 lines.

    How does this differ from the <template> element?

    @pez-dispenser That's the first time I've heard of it. I'll implement that instead.

    @pez-dispenser There we are. It's even simpler now!

    @MacDev It's going into a larger project, if you want the link for that. Multiplayer Pokemon that I'm lazily developing and will probably abandon.

    HTML Supports HTML templates. No Need for another templating engine.

    PS, the smallest templating engine possible for js also already exists
