Top 12 JavaScript Templating Engine Projects

  • Jade

    Pug – robust, elegant, feature rich template engine for Node.js

    Project mention: Just Normal Web Things | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-05

    The right way to start is with HTML and motherfucking web site.

    https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

    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.

  • handlebars.js

    Minimal templating on steroids.

    Project mention: Is there a library that offers _just_ the variable syntax from Razor? | /r/dotnet | 2023-09-08

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

  • SurveyJS

  • mustache.js

    Minimal templating with {{mustaches}} in JavaScript

    Project mention: Hand Coded SLisp | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-22

    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

  • eleventy 🕚⚡️

    A simpler site generator. Transforms a directory of templates (of varying types) into HTML.

    Project mention: Eleventy Style Guide Generator with WebC Component Support | dev.to | 2023-08-04

    I’d ideally like this to be an Eleventy plugin that can be installed on an Eleventy site, rather than a full Eleventy site in itself. As far as I can tell there’s not a way to do so until Virtual Templates are made available.

  • marko

    A declarative, HTML-based language that makes building web apps fun

    Project mention: The Best UI Libraries for Cross-Platform Apps with Tauri | dev.to | 2023-08-04

    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.

  • EJS

    Embedded JavaScript templates -- http://ejs.co

  • hogan.js

    A compiler for the Mustache templating language
