AJST : Asynchronous JavaScript Template

Introduce

AJST is a JavaScript template engine based on Promise A+.

Template files and data are called asynchronously at the required time to generate Output.

Features

1. The syntax is similar to PHP. <? ... ?>
2. It uses pure JavaScript without a dedicated template syntax or API.
3. If necessary, the template is automatically loaded.
4. In the template file you may refer to a different template. Output is returned when all the necessary templates are ready.
5. It uses ES6 Promise

Install

npm install ajst --save

Use ES-Module (like TypeScript)

import * as AJST from 'ajst'; // module
 
AJST.get(Tpl_ID, data).then(output =>
  $('#output').html(output)
);

Use AMD (like RequireJS)

requirejs.config({
  paths: {
    ajst: 'path to ajst/dist/ajst' // ajst.js (for AMD bundle)
  }
})
require(['ajst'], async AJST => {
  const output = await AJST.get(Tpl_ID, data);
  $('#output').html(output);
});

How to use

tpl/hello.html

Hello, <?include('tpl/world.html', {name: 'John Smith'})?>

tpl/world.html

world! <?=data.name?>

index.js

AJST.get('tpl/hello.html').then(output => {
  console.log(output); // Hello, world! John Smith
})
