What is @types/ejs?
The @types/ejs package provides TypeScript type definitions for EJS (Embedded JavaScript templates). This allows TypeScript developers to use EJS in their projects with the benefits of type checking and IntelliSense support in IDEs. The package does not contain functionality by itself but supports the EJS templating engine by providing types for better development experience in TypeScript environments.
What are @types/ejs's main functionalities?
Type Definitions for EJS Functions
Provides type definitions for the `render` function of EJS, enabling type checking and auto-completion features in TypeScript projects.
import * as ejs from 'ejs';
let html: string = ejs.render('Hello <%= user %>!', { user: 'Alice' });
Type Definitions for EJS Configuration Options
Includes type definitions for configuration options in EJS, such as `cache` and `async`, ensuring that developers use the correct types and values when configuring EJS options.
import * as ejs from 'ejs';
ejs.renderFile('template.ejs', { user: 'Bob' }, { cache: true, async: false }, function(err, str) {
// str: rendered HTML string
});
Other packages similar to @types/ejs
@types/handlebars
Provides TypeScript definitions for Handlebars, another popular templating engine. Similar to @types/ejs, it enhances development by adding type safety and IntelliSense support for Handlebars templates.
@types/pug
Offers TypeScript type definitions for Pug (formerly known as Jade), which is a high-performance template engine heavily influenced by Haml. Like @types/ejs, it aids TypeScript developers by providing type definitions for using Pug in a type-safe manner.
