What is @types/mustache?
@types/mustache provides TypeScript type definitions for the Mustache templating library, allowing developers to use Mustache with type safety in TypeScript projects.
What are @types/mustache's main functionalities?
Rendering Templates
This feature allows you to render templates using Mustache. The `render` function takes a template string and a view object, and returns the rendered string.
const Mustache = require('mustache');
const template = 'Hello, {{name}}!';
const view = { name: 'World' };
const output = Mustache.render(template, view);
console.log(output); // 'Hello, World!'
Partial Templates
This feature allows you to use partial templates in Mustache. The `render` function can take a third argument for partials, which are reusable template snippets.
const Mustache = require('mustache');
const template = 'Hello, {{> user}}!';
const partials = { user: '{{name}}' };
const view = { name: 'World' };
const output = Mustache.render(template, view, partials);
console.log(output); // 'Hello, World!'
Custom Delimiters
This feature allows you to use custom delimiters in Mustache templates. The `render` function can take a fourth argument to specify custom delimiters.
const Mustache = require('mustache');
const template = 'Hello, <% name %>!';
const view = { name: 'World' };
const output = Mustache.render(template, view, {}, ['<%', '%>']);
console.log(output); // 'Hello, World!'
Other packages similar to @types/mustache
handlebars
Handlebars is a popular templating engine similar to Mustache but with more features, such as built-in helpers and the ability to write custom helpers. It also supports block expressions and more advanced logic.
ejs
EJS (Embedded JavaScript) is another templating engine that allows you to generate HTML with plain JavaScript. It is more flexible than Mustache and supports JavaScript logic directly within the templates.
pug
Pug (formerly Jade) is a high-performance template engine heavily influenced by Haml. It allows for more concise and readable templates compared to Mustache, but it has a steeper learning curve.
