edge.js templates

• I have written a descriptive issue title
• I have searched existing issues to ensure the feature has not already been requested

🚀 Feature Proposal

I just came across edge.js templates from "htmx discord link" and think this would be a strong addition to point-of-view.

Motivation

While I'm currently using nunjucks as my templating engine, many users on discord feel they will never add partials which is a feature I'd like to test with htmx. I also find https://edgejs.dev/docs/introduction very clear and concise.

Example

Thanks for reporting! Would you like to send a Pull Request to address this issue? Remember to add unit tests.

[johntom]

Sure, sorry to say that I've never done a pull request so I'm reading your guidelines now and will make an attempt.

never read about this engine. It's seem very big.
I loved what they wrote:

If you swim in the <your-frontend-framework> ecosystem, you do not need Edge. Imagine, you never opened this website 😉

@johntom if you want help/collaborate I'm happy

[johntom]

Yes would love the help and I don't think I'll have any issues with a pull request(pr) but have not gotten edge to work with fastify so didnt have anything to contribute,
Do you want me to do the pr?

Ok, I think I have successfully created a pull request.

I am not sure edge is a great fit for this plugin. Looking at https://edgejs.dev/docs/getting_started, it is ESM-only (whereas this entire plugin is CommonJS).

I never got edge to work and was off converting a Fastify3/ commonJS to Fastify4/ESM. To that end, the following code will let you require files with esm 'use strict' import fp from 'fastify-plugin'; import os from 'os' const drive = process.env.drive; // The following fixes common libs when you cant import import { createRequire } from "module"; const require = createRequire(import.meta.url); // End of fix console.log(" chilkat================== ") if (os.platform() == 'win32') { if (os.arch() == 'ia32') { var chilkat = ***@***.***/ck-node20-win-ia32'); } else { var chilkat = ***@***.***/ck-node20-win64'); } } // esm does not support loading json and if fixed with this snippet const books = require("../json/books.json")

Looking at https://edgejs.dev/docs/getting_started, it is ESM-only (whereas this entire plugin is CommonJS), and it looks like it has HTTP routing and middleware built in, just looking at this getting started example, I am not sure how Fastify fits in: import { Edge } from 'edge.js' import { createServer } from 'node:http' const edge = Edge.create() edge.mount(new URL('./views', import.meta.url)) const server = createServer(async (req, res) => { const data = { username: 'virk' } const html = await edge.render('home', data) res.setHeader('content-type', 'text/html') res.end(html) }) server.listen(3000) — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#417 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AAOKLADSYXNJMOSXEA56EOTY2DMRJAVCNFSM6AAAAABD6LX7A2VHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43OSLTON2WKQ3PNVWWK3TUHMZDAMJZGI3TENRXG4> .
