Templates enable fast rendering of the server-side data that needs to be passed to the application.The template engine replaces the variables in a template file with actual values, and displays this value to the client. This makes it easier to quickly build our application. This is the guideline of compile-time text rendering capability.

// or simply
'We are from ${city}!'.render({city: 'Colombo'})            // We are from Colombo
