rivets VS Liquid

I use http://rivetsjs.com/ in a production intranet project. At the time I started using it I wanted a lightweight alternative to angular/vuejs. I didn’t want the junior devs at the customer to have to learn webpack, etc, but I did want two way data binding, and wanted as lightweight as possible. It has met those needs, and more - it supports creating web components so has let me do reusable code bits also. My main gripe is it’s somewhat stagnant, and there isn’t the ecosystem of components and help like vue or angular.

Still, I’d recommend it for small projects where you need binding.

Liquid is a template language created by shopify. In my use case I use it for generate html that is almost similar looking but differs in data. So when iterating over my HTML, I need to preview the changes I made combined with my data.

Inside the blog directory, create an index.liquid file. This will be our blog’s homepage. Eleventy provides a number of options when selecting a template engine. For this project, we’ll use Liquid.

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.

Assuming I understand the ask, I think my approach would be to have a trigger fire when a ticket's custom field is set to "add user to the application." That trigger would notify a webhook. That webhook would be set to the Organization API endpoint with a payload that uses liquid markup to add 1 to the existing Organization's value.

For example, their theme templates use Liquid, which is a html templating system for Ruby. Activemerchant also was released by Shopify, and it provides a interface to major payment providers like PayPal.

In the meantime, Liquid v4.0.4 has been released, and allows building a Jekyll site with the latest Ruby.

Then, let’s create the simplest template for our static Eleventy page. We’ll write it using Liquid, but since it’s so simple, it won’t take advantage of any useful templating tags for now. Let’s call it index.liquid:

Previously I have used Jekyll for blogging and it has served me well for simple blogs and static websites. Jekyll is a static site generator that relies on Markdown, Liquid, HTML, and CSS. Which means no JavaScript -- a Jamstack without the J. With GitHub Pages you can even host Jekyll sites directly from your repository.2
