Template engine that works like PHP, to display data in HTML use <?js writeToDocument = 'Example' ?>
MirrorView is a Node.js module that allows you to execute JavaScript code embedded within an HTML string and replace the code with the output.
To install MirrorView, use npm:
npm install mirrorview
To use MirrorView in your Node.js program, require the module and call the executeJS function:
const mirrorview = require('mirrorview');
let html = '<html><body><h1><?js "Hello, world!" ?></h1></body></html>';
let context = {};
html = mirrorview.executeJS(context, html);
The executeJS function takes two arguments: a context object and an HTML string. The context object can be used to provide variables or functions that the embedded JavaScript code can use. To output values in the HTML string you can use the echo function, it takes a string as a parameter.
For example, the following HTML string will output "2":
<html>
<body>
<h1><?js echo(1 + 1); ?></h1>
</body>
</html>
Here is another example of how you could use the executeJS function in a Node.js program:
const mirrorview = require('mirrorview');
let html = `
<html>
<body>
<h1><?js "Hello, world!" ?></h1>
<p><?js echo("Today is " + new Date().toLocaleDateString()); ?></p>
<ul>
<?js
for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
echo('<li>Item ' + i + '</li>');
}
?>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
`;
let context = {};
html = mirrorview.executeJS(context, html);
console.log(html);
This code will output the following HTML string:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<p>Today is [current date]</p>
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
<li>Item 4</li>
<li>Item 5</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
