  • Building Vue Components With Pug & Stylus
    2 projects | dev.to | 22 Mar 2024
    If you have a bit of Nodejs SSR background, you would already be accustomed to templating libraries like Pug, Handlebars, EJS, etc. If you’re from a PHP background you would be familiar with the Blade templating engine. These templating libraries basically help you render dynamic data from the backend on the frontend. They also help you generate markup with loops based on conditions.

    Really. At this point this is what web sites should strive to be.

    Pug is a great way to write HTML by hand. I integrated it with GitHub Pages so pug sources get compiled to HTML and published when commits are pushed. Great experience.

    Disclaimer: The markup of CodePen examples is still in Pug. However, you can view it compiled as HTML by opening the code tab menu and selecting "View compiled HTML" (But, by the way, if you are not already familiar with Pug Templates, I strongly advise you to check them out).
  • What happened to pug.js?
    1 project | /r/node | 18 Mar 2023
    I've been using Pug.js (https://github.com/pugjs/pug) for quite a few projects in the past but when I went to look at it yesterday it looks like it's no longer in active development. Lots of open issues and no response where someone asks what happened.
