View engine alternatives for nodejs?

Question

Alternatives that are not Jade and similar, I try to know alternatives that can write the complete syntax (HTML and CSS)?

Answer 1

In addition to Jade, I have worked with two other view Engines:

---

• ejs

Basically, the ejs processes Javascript code within tags <% %> in your view. For example:

<div>
    <h1>Você gosta de pudim?</h1>
    <% if (usuario.gostaDePudim) { %>
        <h2>Você é um cara legal!</h2>
    <% } else { %>
        <h2>Você não é legal >:(</h2>
    <% } %>
</div>

Thus, if the variable usuario.gostaDePudim is true, the following HTML will be generated:

<div>
    <h1>Você gosta de pudim?>
    <h2>Você é um cara legal!</h2>
</div>

• echo

The eco works in the same way as ejs with the tags <% %>, but using Coffeescript. The example below uses the same model as the ejs:

<div>
    <h1>Você gosta de pudim?</h1>
    <% if @usuario.gostaDePudim : %>
        <h2>Você é um cara legal!</h2>
    <% else : %>
        <h2>Você não é legal >:(</h2>
    <% end %>
</div>
