Compilation

Eta.compile

Compiles a string into a template function. TypeDoc doc page

Syntax

Eta.compile(str, config)

// returns a function that can be called with (data, config, [cb])

// note: config must be a valid configuration object

See the page on config

Example

var myTemplate = "Hi, my name is <%= it.name %>"

var compiled = Eta.compile(myTemplate)

// Returns a function:

// function anonymous(it,c,cb ) { var tR='';tR+='Hi, my name is ';tR+=E.e(it.name);if(cb){cb(null,tR)} return tR }

compiled({ name: "Johnny Appleseed" }, Eta.config)

//Returns "Hi, my name is Johnny Appleseed"

note

Many template engines offer you the option to Compile (which just renders your template) or Precompile (which turns your template into a function ahead of time). Eta precompiles automatically, but is still faster than other engines.
