HTML is now a Turing complete programming language with the html-lang library.
html-lang is experimental and currently in development. So that means don't go slipping this into your production site! Proceed at your own risk!
html-lang features no build step, no bundling, no webpack configs. Open up your HTML, include the script and start writing HTML.
At only 5.7kB (gzip) in size, html-lang is a tiny but powerful framework.
Most frameworks are designed to be template engines. These typically mix their template language and JavaScript. Meaning you write and tie together both.
While html-lang is similar to quite a bit of existing tech out there, the focus of this library is to bring that programming feel to HTML.
This allows you to stay inside the framework.
Include the script tag into the <head></head> section of your HTML.
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@joelnet/[email protected]/umd/html-lang.js"></script>Variables are globally scoped.
<!-- String -->
<val message="Hello World"></val>
<!-- Number -->
<val x:number="888"></val>
<!-- Boolean -->
<val test:bool="true"></val>
<!-- Object -->
<val y:object="{ x: 1, y: 2 }"></val>
<!-- Array -->
<val z:object="['A', 'B', 'C']"></val>The computed value syntax has a :? at the end of the Variable name.
<!-- Set name -->
<val name="World"></val>

<!-- set message to "Hello World" -->
<val message="Hello World"></val>
<!-- Display message -->

<if test="x > 10">X is GREATER than 10!</if>
<else>X is NOT GREATER than 10!</else>A for-of loop will loop through all the items in the collection, setting the item to the variable specified.
