template.js is a simple JavaScript template engine supporting parsing, compilation, and rendering with native JS syntax. It offers precompilation plugins for mainstream bundlers like webpack, vite, rollup, esbuild, and parcel, plus a CLI and editor plugins.

Use cases

• render html templates from javascript data
• precompile templates with webpack or vite
• replace string concatenation with a template engine
• use a lightweight handlebars or ejs alternative
• set up a template project with a cli scaffolder
• highlight template syntax in vscode or sublime

When to choose

• you want a simple, native-JS-syntax template engine
• you need precompilation integrated with your bundler
• you need both browser and Node support with TypeScript types
• you want JIT and AOT compilation modes

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured framework like React or Vue for UI rendering
• you prefer logic-less templates like Mustache or Handlebars
• you need server-side templating for a non-JavaScript stack
