knockout VS mustache.js

The approach is not new, essentially a variation of Knockout, Alpine, and similar "JS-in-HTML" approaches.

SolidJS and Tauri form another potent combination for creating performant, lightweight, and secure experiences. SolidJS is a reactive UI library that is similar to Svelte in the way it compiles away reactivity and updates the DOM directly, but it also incorporates a fine-grained reactivity system reminiscent of libraries like Marko, Knockout, and MobX.

People act like Signals are a new discovery. KnockoutJS was using them 13 years ago and other libraries used them before that.

Knockout JS is a Javascript library which uses the MVVM pattern to bind data to certain DOM elements. Within Magento, we usually define a View-Model (which is a .js file) and a Template (which is a .html file), and the data in the template file is bound to the view-model, meaning whenever the data in the view-model changes, the template file changes too.

I still use Knockout[0] for almost an identical experience.

One of the first uses of this concept was in knockout, which used the same function with and without arguments for write/read access.

To do this, use a Javascript library called knockout.js

You could use a JavaScript framework called KnockoutJS which uses the MVVM pattern.

Magento is built with PHP. A good understanding of PHP is generally enough to perform different development tasks such as building modules. However, developers often need to work with libraries like Knockout.js and Less when developing themes.

Templating engine: SSGs rely on templating engines to define the structure of web pages. These engines enable developers to create reusable templates and incorporate dynamic content. Popular templating engines include Liquid, Handlebars, Mustache, EJS, ERB, HAML, and Slim.

I also enjoy simple templating engines. It makes it far easier to reason about a template and mentally step-through it. For existing art, there are:

DustJS which is a "logic-less" template engine (just loops and simple if-statements): https://github.com/linkedin/dustjs

and there is also mustache, which is very similar: https://mustache.github.io/

Personally, I've re-implemented DustJS in rust but its still a very alpha project: https://code.fizz.buzz/talexander/duster

I think the homepage states, "Logic-less templates"

Other popular templating engines include Jade, EJS, and Handlebars. Jade is a high-performance templating engine that is used for server-side rendering. EJS is a lightweight templating engine that is used for client-side and server-side rendering. Handlebars is a templating language that is based on the Mustache template language.

JSX just a templating language in this case, right? No reactivity at all? What's the benefit against using something like https://github.com/janl/mustache.js/ ?

You don't have to even program the replacement part yourself, because there are many libraries made specifically for that. For this example, I'd recommend mustache.

This is one of the least-bad names because it implements a non-Boost standard and it's named after that. I've used mustache in Python so knew immediately it was a templating language.

First, I setup mustache (npm package) as the templating language (the npm package hasn’t been updated in two years, so that’s great). Mustache is really simple, it provides a few helper utilities, like replacing variables, or iterating over data,

Once the array is ready and back in place, we need to display the information from the emails, and for that we can use the template node. This node uses the mustache system, which is a logicless template engine for creating dynamic content. In other words, it generates HTML code by using tags that are replaced by code.
