jSmart - Smarty template engine in JavaScript
======

jSmart is a port of the Smarty Template Engine to Javascript, a JavaScript template library that supports the template syntax and all the features (functions, variable modifiers, etc.) of the well-known PHP template engine Smarty.

jSmart is written entirely in JavaScript, does not have any DOM/browser or third-party JavaScript library dependencies and can be run in a web browser as well as a standalone JavaScript interpreter or CommonJS environments like node.js.

jSmart supports plugin architecture, you can extend it with custom plugins: functions, blocks and variable modifiers, templates inclusion, templates inheritance and overriding, caching, escape HTML.

jSmart has some limited support of the PHP Smarty syntax and allows you to use the same Smarty templates on both server and client side, for both PHP and Javascript.

1. Webpack:- https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsmart-loader
2. Grunt:- https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-jsmart
3. Express Js :- https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsmart-express

$3

1. Install jSmart from NPM Registry
`
$ npm install jsmart --save
`

2. Create template, use PHP Smarty syntax. Say demo.tpl

`smarty
Hello {$name}
`

3. Now lets read the template and compile it. _jSmart_ object compiles the template. You can call _fetch_ function as many times with different data you would want to assign to template.
`js
var fs = require('fs'),
jSmart = require('jsmart'),
tpl = fs.readFileSync('./demo.tpl', {encoding: 'utf-8'}),
compiledTemplate = new jSmart(tpl),
output = compiledTemplate.fetch({name: 'World'});
// output will be "Hello world"

console.log(output);
`

4. Execute the file.

`cli
$ node demo.js
`

$3

1. Include jSmart library Javascript file in your header.

`html




`

2. Create template, use PHP Smarty syntax. Put the template's text in _<script>_ with the _type="text/x-jsmart-tmpl"_ so a browser will not try to parse it and mess it up.
`js

`

3. Create new object of _jSmart_ class, passing the template's text as it's constructor's argument than call _fetch(data)_, where data is an JavaScript object with variables to assign to the template
`js

`

$3

1. If you have configured and installed Require.js it easy to load jSmart and use it. Load jSmart.js file in the browser/environment and it already makes use require js to define module, you got to just include it.
`js
define(['jSmart'], function (jSmart) {
var tplText = 'Hello {$name}';
var compiled = new jSmart(tplText);
var output = compiled.fetch({name: 'world'});
// output is "Hello world"
});
`

2. You can also make use Require.js text plugin to load templates.
`js
define(['jSmart', 'text!some/good/template.tpl'], function (jSmart, goodTpl) {
var compiled = new jSmart(goodTpl);
var output = compiled.fetch({name: 'world'});
// output is "Hello world"
});
`
