Custom tags and attributes

script tag

We write content of script tags to body of function. if src attribute exists, content ignored.

attributes

• src: script path

jqfy:name attribute

With this attribute you can set variable name.

{{val}} in text or attribute name and value

render value of data.val in the output html.

note: in attribute name use {{var}} without space. for example {{ x }} not supported in attributes name

example

input html:

<div id="div-{{ i }}" class="text-{{ type }}" data-{{k}}="{{ v }}">
    {{i}}: {{ text }}
</div>

use:

render({
  i: 5,
  type: 'info',
  k: 'target',
  v: '#form-1',
  text: 'Hi jQfy'
}, {returnType: 'html'})

output:

<div id="div-5" class="text-info" data-target="#form-1">5: Hi jQfy</div>

How it works

First we parse your html with cheerio then foreach tag generate a code. This code create a jquery object and set id, class and attributes of element, then append jquery object to parent's jquery object. if script tags exist in your html, we append content of script to generated code.
