typo

typo is an extendable template engine designed for the future:

• featured with Promise and async/await.
• powerful custom sync/async helpers.

Install

$ npm install typo --save

Usage

const typo = require('typo')()
typo.template('Hello, {{user.name}}!', {
  user: {
    name: 'Steve'
  }
}).then(console.log)
// Hello, Steve!

typo with chalk

const typo = require('typo')()
const chalk = require('typo-chalk')
typo.use(chalk)

typo.template('Once in a {{blue blue}} moon').then(console.log)
// Then it will print a blue word "blue"

Custom helpers

Basic:

typo.use('upper', word => word.toUpperCase())
typo.template('{{upper foo}} bar').then(console.log)
// FOO bar

Asychronous helpers

typo.use('fullname', async name => await getFullNameFromServer(name))
typo.template('{{fullname name}}', {name: 'Steve'}).then(console.log)
// Steve Jobs

typo.template('{{fullname Steve}}').then(console.log)
// Steve Jobs

Compile the template and use it Later

const template = typo.compile(`Once in a {{blue color}} moon`)

template({color: 'blue'})
.then(console.log)
// Once in a blue moon

compile(template, compile_options)

Returns function(data)

• template String
• compile_options Object
  • async Boolean=true whether should be compiled into an asynchronous function, defualts to true
  • concurrency Number=Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY If compiled as an asynchronous function, the number of max concurrently pending helper functions.
  • value_not_defined enum.<print|ignore|throw> Suppose the value of an expression is not found in data, then it will print the expression directly if print, or print nothing if ignore, or throw an error if throw.

async: false

const result = typo.compile(template)(data)
console.log(result)

async: true (default)

typo.compile(template)(data).then(console.log)

template(template, data, compile_options)

• template String
• data Object=
• compile_options Object=

Returns Promise if compile_options.async is true(default), or String the substituted result if is not.

Syntax

{{<helper-name>[:<helper-params>][|<helper-name&params>] <expression>}}
{{<expression>}}
