Simple HTML framework for express
npm install nulls
The nulls framework is a wrapper around express.js
and other useful modules with the goal of making the process of
developing websites quicker and easier.
This framework offers a wide range of configuration options while making everything as secure as possible.
Writing dynamic HTML was never as easy as with nulls!
The HTML files are being parsed on the server using cheerio,
making DOM modifications simple and intuitive.
nulls adds a couple of custom HTML attributes,
which are parsed on the server and removed completely
on the client. Internal handlers receive the request object
with parsed cookies, and additional arguments if provided.
Since internal handlers are executed directly in the framework, it is super easy to integrate modular logic, and you don't have to learn "yet another rendering language™" - use the all beloved JavaScript.
null-container - replace HTML in the element
null-list - iterate over something and make
a total html out of it; all further handlers
will be passed an additional argument: the current item
of the iterable; arguments persist to next levelsnull-adder - add HTML to the element (useful for SEO in e.g. <head>)
null-list - iterate and addnull-data - server-side data retrieval (useful for title and other placeholders)null-api - form (or button) with the parameter
null-upload - additional parameter to parse files server-sidenull-access - additional parameter to verify the API endpoint is called with correct permissions (or else Error 403)null-ajax - additional parameter to add client-side processing of an API requestnull-attr - handler returns name-value object; the attributes are set on elementnull-if - conditional executionnull-arg - pass an additional argument to all handlers on the elementExample:
root.html
<ul null-list="() => [{ 'v': 46 }, { 'v': 69, }, { 'v': 83 }]" null-adder="#partials/list-item.html">
</ul>
partials/list-item.html
<li null-data>
<script null-data>
const calculate = require("./lib/math.js");
return async (r, s, d) => {
const value = d.v;
return await calculate(value);
};
</script>
</li>
Result on the client:
<ul>
<li>1081</li>
<li>2415</li>
<li>3486</li>
</ul>
