mu2

What is mu2?

The mu2 npm package is a streaming Mustache template engine for Node.js. It allows you to render Mustache templates efficiently by streaming data into the template, which can be particularly useful for large datasets or when working with I/O-bound operations.

What are mu2's main functionalities?

Rendering a Mustache Template

This feature allows you to render a Mustache template by streaming data into it. The example demonstrates how to compile and render a template named 'example.mustache' with a data object containing a 'name' property. The rendered output is then piped to a file named 'output.html'.

const mu = require('mu2');
const fs = require('fs');

mu.root = __dirname + '/templates';

const stream = mu.compileAndRender('example.mustache', { name: 'World' });

stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('output.html'));

stream.on('end', () => {
  console.log('Template rendering complete.');
});

Setting Template Root Directory

This feature allows you to set the root directory for your Mustache templates. By setting the 'mu.root' property, you can specify the directory where your templates are located, making it easier to manage and organize your template files.

const mu = require('mu2');

mu.root = __dirname + '/templates';

console.log('Template root directory set to:', mu.root);

handlebars

The 'handlebars' package is an extension of the Mustache templating language, offering additional features such as helpers and partials. While it does not provide streaming capabilities like mu2, it is more powerful and flexible, making it suitable for more complex templating needs.

ejs

The 'ejs' package is a simple templating language that lets you generate HTML markup with plain JavaScript. It is not based on Mustache but offers similar functionality for rendering templates. EJS does not support streaming but is known for its ease of use and flexibility.
