Universal html rendering middleware for Rill. Uses set-dom to update html in the browser.
Need isomorphic event handling? Check out @rill/delegate!
npm install @rill/html// We will use handlebars for our example.
const hbs = require('handlebars')
const homePage = hbs.compile(`
<html>
<head>
<title>My App</title>
<meta name="description" content="Rill Application">
</head>
<body>
{{title}}
<script src="/app.js"/>
</body>
</html>
`)
// Setup a universal Rill application.
const app = require('rill')()
// Setup the html diffing/rendering middleware.
app.use(require('@rill/html')())
// Setup a homepage route.
app.get('/', ({ req, res }, next)=> {
// Just set the response body to some html.
// updates the dom in the browser, or render a string in the server.
res.body = homePage({ title: '@rill/html' });
// On the server the final response will be.
`
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My App</title>
<meta name="description" content="Rill Application">
</head>
<body>
@rill/html
<script src="/app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
`
})Sometimes the goal is not to diff the entire page, or you want to use something like @rill/page to handle the document.
@rill/html adds the ability to change the root element with an option for this purpose.
// Use a query selector to set the root element to diff.
app.use(require('@rill/html')({ root: '#my-element' }))- Use
npm testto run tests.
