nunjucks VS dustjs

In ApostropheCMS, templates are where code and content become web pages. Specifically, templates are written in normal HTML markup with special tags and are based on the Nunjucks template language. Thus, they are .html files placed in the /views subfolder of an ApostropheCMS module.

This starter Kit has been created by Corllete in partnership with Apostrophe. From a technical point of view, the ecommerce project is based on several UI components. Each of them relies entirely on Tailwind CSS for styling, with no additional CSS files. These components are organized in macros and fragments coming from the default server-side template engine Nunjucks.

So there's Nunjucks, a frontend templating language inspired by jinja2, which itself is based on the Django template language. You could try that, and mock in data from JSON when required until you're ready to use real Django.

The linked one is my Rails implementation, written for ViewComponent. The official version uses Nunjucks.

The template engine is Nunjucks.

Take a look on Nunjucks a templating language by Mozilla . You can use Gulp to start with it, check gulp-nunjucks-render.

Try out Nunjucks https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/ . It does exactly what you want.

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
