SWIG template widhout node - it is possible to use it as standalone js library?

Question

There are some great js template engine for Django programmers: http://paularmstrong.github.io/swig/

But it is available in npn package for node.js. And render method require path to file:

swig.renderFile('/path/to/template.html', {
    pagename: 'awesome people',
    authors: ['Paul', 'Jim', 'Jane']
});

It is posible use it like others js/jquery librariers and render templates from string?

Answer 1

Yes, you can just use the render(source, options) method.

var output = swig.render('{{ tacos }}', {
    locals: {
        tacos: 'Tacos!!!!'
    }
});

Unless you mean you want to run it in the browser, then take a look at the documentation.
