templator

Lightweight template engine.

templator is a lightweight template engine featuring the following functionality:

• Replaces {{property_name_1.property_name_2.etc}} with the value of the corresponding property data.property_name_1.property_name_2.etc of a data object passed as a parameter to the module's imported function.

• Replaces {{> ./relative_path/file_name.ext}} with recursively rendered content of the target file.

• Recursively renders all files in the srcFolder, except files with names starting with the _ symbol, and places the rendered files in the destFolder.

Installation

$ npm install templator --save-dev

Usage example

const templator = require('templator');
const data = getDataObjectSomehow();
 
templator(srcFolder, destFolder, data)
.then(() => {
  console.log('Success!');
})
.catch(err => {
  console.error(err);
});
