Whats your favorite templating engine?

1

Recently I decided to fully redo my website with routing and templates. So far things have been going quite smooth and as of now I am using Pug for templates. What do you all use?

2

I usually don’t use templates, but what i would suggest is if you could add margins to the text.

Pug:

Vue alone isn’t great, but when paired with ejs, It’s a whole lotta awesomeness

Who would even use EJS when they’re already using Vue?

Vue already has a templating engine built-in, why use EJS again? Plus, you’re actually kind of defeating Vue’s purpose.

I have my reasons lol ejs is giving vue some extra features, that vue doesn’t have. and those features, i often need.

25

Name them.

26

With a lot of these engines there is unofficial PHP support, which is quite neat. I was going to mess around with Stylus which is pretty much pug for CSS.

Inhales

ejs provides the ability to include files that can be manipulated while being written to the document, which is a very good functionality, and something vue doesn’t have, just one of the reasons i pair them together.

prob won’t make sense lol, but it does to meh

28

Ever heard of Vue components? And Vue components properties?

Vue allows you to create and include separate files that can be manipulated while being written to the document. You’re pretty much defining components there.

Yes. I have

FYI, those are the Vue “alternatives” for EJS.

I’m actually mad at you for dragging Vue down to the level of EJS, when it is actually in a high position like React.

31

bruh, ;-;

ever hear of this?

<%- vue_instance_here_that_is_manipulated_on_the_server_side %>
32

I’m actually confused, why would you use EJS when you can do a lot more with only Vue?

33

exactly I said I have my reasons lol,

34

Well it depends, if you’re building a SPA, then Vue alone can be hero,
though it’s not a templating engine.
