Templating HTML in JavaScript #21

Open jonsmithers opened 7 years ago

jonsmithers commented 7 years ago

MustacheJS is a simple 9KB templating system. Might be worth pulling in to avoid crazy string concatenations.

Edit: HandlebarsJS can be precompiled. Maybe that will allow for a small download size.

Edit: VueJS can also be precompiled at a small size!!

The template-to-virtual-DOM compiler and the runtime can be separated, so you can pre-compile templates and ship your app with only the runtime, which is less than 12kb min+gzip (as a reference, React 15 is 44kb min+gzip)

This guy made an experimental, super-fast, "VanillaJS" front-end framework in 0.96kb.

It's a good read.

Maybe just use Polymer to encourage small contributions from people we know?
