yeoman VS handlebars.js

Drag and Drop Visual Programming Language, the click of a button is interpreted as a source of an object stream. Think packet oriented programming, of reactive functional programming, or RxJs, or Node-RED.

To answer your question: you evaluate a low-code builder by the ease with which it can generate entire website applications. And by generate, I mean code generation as well, because you want these programs to emit beautiful code that is indistinguishable from hand made code. For code generation see yeoman, especially AST parsing and that nifty var function: https://yeoman.io/

And of course any one of the 5 above is a good test, but all 5 in harmony are better.

As to non-visual/tui tools, its bash. shells are low code tools take a look:

AT&T Archives: The UNIX Operating System:

Plop js actually allows us to create the structures that we have previously created templates on cli via command. It does this in a very simple way. I can give hygen and yeoman as an alternative to plop js. I plan to write content about these libraries in the future.

You use them to install Yeoman and the VS Code Extension Generator. This generator creates a frame (scaffold) for your extension so you don't have to write everything from scratch. If you elect to build your project using TypeScript (recommended for this blog), it's recommended that you install the TypeScript + Webpack Problem Matcher to make it easier to find and match coding errors.

Nice, reminds me of https://yeoman.io/ which was popular couple years ago

Before we can start building the extension, we need to gather and prepare the necessary tools. In this case, the needed tools are node, git, yeoman and generator-code. For a newcomer like myself, this basic tutorial is perfect. I recommend going through it to learn the fundamentals.

If you wanted something much more advanced for some actual syntax highlighting and not just word highlighting, you can you use the built-in tools to create your own language syntax highlighter. You can define words, expressions, and grammar that gets formatted and colored and more across a specific type of file (you could enable it for .txt files if you really wanted to). You'd want to install Yeoman and the VScode Extension Generator.

Maybe recheck the name ? https://www.npmjs.com/package/yo https://yeoman.io/

If you are wondering about performance cost please take a look here, especially the last comment. https://github.com/yeoman/yeoman/issues/810 . With the advent of http2 and http3 the tcp connection is never reset and in http 3 the browser can always stop and resume the image loading without throwing the current progress away. FB, Google, Shopify, Reddit and many others are all using webp which doesn't support progressive rendering and I am sure at their scale they have at least million site visits with slow network and they are doing fine.

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.

It’s time to create our code template. To do this, we use handlebars js, which allows us to create templates at a basic level. We create a folder called templates in the project home directory and add our template files inside.

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.

Here's our first usage of the handlebars (docs) template. The .hbs extension will be removed once we run the action. Inside index.ts.hbs, add:

Id use handlerbars JS - https://handlebarsjs.com/

Node.js programming language will be used for simplicity. Handlebars template engine to separate data from the presentation. html2pdf.app to convert HTML to PDF, but as an alternative Puppeteer can be used also (you can find a complete tutorial How to convert HTML to PDF with puppeteer).

Handlebars.js site

But a valid question is: Why not use a template like Handlebars? For the use case inside Woovi, templates won't help us because we would need two core points: reuse our design system and ensure the usage of GraphQL in our payment link.

You might want to brush up on https://handlebarsjs.com/ if you want to make templates.

Once the package is set up, it will provide a MailService class that has a method named sendEmail that will receive some parameters and then send the mail. But first, we need to create the mail template and for that, we will use handlebars. It will allow us, to create HTML templates in which we can pass dynamics parameters, such as the user name or its information, and write inline CSS to style our email.
