Node.js Vash

Node.js Vash

Introduction:
Node.js Vash is a popular template engine designed to work seamlessly with Node.js, allowing developers to efficiently render dynamic HTML views. This documentation provides a brief overview of Node.js Vash, its installation, basic usage, and a coding example to demonstrate its functionality.

Installation:
To use Node.js Vash, you need to install it via npm (Node Package Manager). Open your terminal and run the following command:

npm install vash

Basic Usage:

1. Import Vash in your Node.js application:

javascript
const vash = require('vash');

2. Compile and render a template:

javascript
const template = 'Hello, @model.name!'; // Vash template
const compiledTemplate = vash.compile(template);
const data = { name: 'John' };
const renderedHTML = compiledTemplate(data);
console.log(renderedHTML);

Explanation:

• In the above example, we first import the vash module using require.
• Next, we define a simple Vash template with a placeholder @model.name.
• The vash.compile() method compiles the template into a function that accepts data as an argument and returns the rendered HTML.
• We create a data object with a name property set to 'John'.
• Calling the compiled template with the data object as an argument (compiledTemplate(data)) renders the template and replaces the @model.name placeholder with the value of data.name.
• The output will be: Hello, John!.

Conclusion:
Node.js Vash is an effective and lightweight template engine that simplifies the process of generating dynamic HTML views in Node.js applications. By following the steps outlined in this documentation, you can easily integrate Vash into your projects and efficiently render dynamic content.
