npm install jsteESM
import { div } from 'jste'CommonJS
const { div } = require('jste')Browser
<script src="https://unpkg.com/jste@latest/dist/jste.js"></script>
<script>
const { div } = jste
</script>JSTE can be used both in NodeJS and in the browser. Consider an example template that generating simple markup for a single page application:
import { html, head, body, meta, title, link, script } from 'jste'
const example = params => html({
doctype : true,
lang : params.lang,
children : [
head([
meta({ charset : 'utf-8' }),
title(params.title),
link({
rel : 'stylesheet',
href : '/bundle.css',
})
]),
body(
script({ src : '/bundle.js' }),
),
],
})
const result = example({
lang : 'en',
title : 'Hello JSTE!',
})
const html = result.toString()In this example, the constant html is an HTML string with the appropriate markup (line breaks added for readability):
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Hello JSTE!</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/bundle.css">
</head>
<body>
<script src="/bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
