MNLA
MNLA is a wrapper for the Manila template engine. It allows you to bind your server-side Manila templates to client side components, re-rendering the templates when the underlying data model changes.
Installation
npm install mnla --save
This documentation assumes you are using Express.
Example Setup
Server side:
// index.js
const express = require('express'),
app = express(),
mnla = require('mnla')();
app
// Define the location of your static assets:
.use(express.static('assets'))
.use('/assets', express.static('assets'))
// If you aren't using a bundler like Browserify,
// make a static route for the MNLA source code:
.use('/node_modules/mnla', express.static('node_modules/mnla'))
// Tell Express to use the MNLA template engine:
.engine('mnla', mnla)
.set('view engine', 'mnla')
.set('views', './views')
// Set up some routes:
.get('/', require('./controllers/index'))
.get('/message', require('./controllers/message')); // JSON endpoint
app.listen(1337, () => {
console.log('Listening on localhost:1337');
});
// controllers/index.js
const
manila = require('mnla/server'),
// message is the controller for a JSON endpoint
message = require('./message');
module.exports = (req, res) => {
manila({
// Here we define our component names and underlying data sources:
message: message,
input: message
},
// Don't forget to pass req and res to component controllers:
req, res)
.then(templateData => {
res.render('index', templateData);
});
};
// controllers/message.js
// component controllers
module.exports = (req, res) => {
res.json({
message: "hello, world!"
});
};
<!-- views/message.mnla -->
<h1><:message:></h1>
<!-- views/input.mnla -->
<!-- 'on' is a special method that you can use to listen to DOM events. -->
<!-- 'updateMessage' is a custom handler that we'll define in a client side script. -->
<input type="text" <:on('input', updateMessage):> value="<:message:>" />
<!-- views/index.mnla -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>MNLA</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- since we've set up the 'message' and 'input' components, we can render them thusly: -->
<::component.message::>
<::component.input::>
<!-- to allow client-side data binding, include this at the end of the body: -->
<::clientData::>
<!-- and don't forget your client side scripts: -->
<script src="/node_modules/mnla/dist.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/js/app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Client side:
// assets/js/app.js
manila
.component('message', vm => {
// Add methods and properties to vm (view model) here.
// Return an object with methods that can be called by other components
return {
update: message => {
vm.message = message;
}
};
})
.component('input', vm => {
// Here we define the updateMessage method we used in the template.
vm.updateMessage = event => {
// Inform the message component of the new value
// using the 'update' method we created
manila.components.message.update(event.target.value);
};
});
