How to create a Template object with a string?

[tahmidkhan]

I want to create a Template object using a string (something like "<h1>Hello {{ username }}</h1>") and then manually call that object's render() function. The examples in the docs all use renderString() which returns the results after calling render().

Is there a way to do this? Thanks for any help.

Ok after digging into the codebase, I've found the solution:

var myTemplate = new nunjucks.Template(templateString, nunjucksEnv)

You actually want compile template
