Forked from https://github.com/AntonioVdlC/html-template-tag
ES6 Tagged Template for compiling HTML template strings.
This package is distributed via npm:
npm install @cloudrac3r/html-template-tag
At its core, this module just performs simple ES6 string interpolation.
var html = require("html-template-tag");
// - or - import { html } from "html-template-tag";
var name = `Antonio`;
var string = html`Hello, ${name}!`;
// "Hello, Antonio!"
Nevertheless, it escapes HTML special characters without refraining its use in loops!
var html = require("html-template-tag");
// - or - import { html } from "html-template-tag";
var names = ["Antonio", "Megan", "/><script>alert('xss')</script>"];
var string = html`
<ul>
${names.map((name) => html`
<li>Hello, ${name}!</li>
`)}
</ul>
`;
// "<ul><li>Hello, Antonio!</li><li>Hello, Megan!</li><li>Hello, /><script>alert('xss')</script>!</li></ul>"
You can use double dollar signs in interpolation to mark the value as safe (which means that this variable will not be escaped).
var name = `<strong>Antonio</strong>`;
var string = html`Hello, $${name}!`;
// "Hello, <strong>Antonio</strong>!"
This small module can also be used to pre-compile HTML templates:
var html = require("html-template-tag");
// - or - import { html } from "html-template-tag";
var data = {
count: 2,
names: ["Antonio", "Megan"]
};
var template = ({names}) => html`
<ul>
${names.map((name) => html`
<li>Hello, ${name}!</li>
`)}
</ul>
`;
var string = template(data);
/*
"
<ul>
<li>Hello, Antonio!</li>
<li>Hello, Megan!</li>
</ul>
"
*/
NB: The formating of the string literal is kept.

The code for this module has been heavily inspired on Axel Rauschmayer's post on HTML templating with ES6 template strings and Stefan Bieschewski's comment.
