block

Block.js

Ridiculously simple HTML templating. All it does is replaces "blocks" in your template with a local.

<div class="container">
  {{content}}
</div>

block(html).render({
  content: '<div class="inner"></div>'
})

yields:

<div class="container">
  <div class="inner"></div>
</div>

That's it. HTML templating doesn't have to be any harder.

API

Block(html)

var block = require('block')

var template = block('<div class="container">{{content}}</div>')

html is a string, and block returns a new templating instance.

template.render(locals)

locals is an object of "blocks" to replace in the template.

template.render({
  content: '<a href="#">click me</a>'
}) === '<div class="container"><a href="#">click me</a></div>'
