Asynchronous templating in Node.js

Package Exports

  • ajs
  • ajs/lib/compiler
  • ajs/lib/parser

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (ajs) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

📋 Example

Here is an example how to use this package as library. To install it locally, as library, you can do that using npm:

$ npm i --save ajs
const ajs = require("ajs");

ajs.render(
`<% fruits.forEach(function (c) { -%>
<%= c %>s are great
<% }) %>`, {
    locals: {
        fruits: ["Apple", "Pear", "Orange"]
    }
}, (err, data) => {
    console.log(err || data);
    // =>
    // Apples are great
    // Pears are great
    // Oranges are great
});

// Do some async stuff
ajs.render(
`<% fetchData(function (err, msg) {
   if (err) { %>
     Error: <%= err.message %>
   <% } else {
    <%= msg %>
   <% } %>
<% }) %>`, {
    locals: {
        fetchData: cb => setTimeout(
            () => cb(null, "Hey there!")
          , 1000
        )
    }
}, (err, data) => {
    console.log(err || data);
    // =>
    // Hey there!
});
