AIHTML

Introduction

AIHTML is a simple tool that helps users build a view engine in Erlang. It is similar to the Mustache Template Compiler but has extra features to make it work even better.

Benefits

AIHTML offers several great advantages.

1. Better Mustache Syntax AIHTML adds lambda sections to the syntax. This makes templating more complex and dynamic.
2. Reusable Templates AIHTML keeps view logic separate from the template file. This makes templates reusable in different languages and projects.
3. Fast Compilation AIHTML turns Mustache files into IR code and stores the results in ETS for reuse. This speeds up rendering.
4. Partial Support AIHTML automatically loads partial Mustache files. This makes it easy to manage and reuse components.
5. Flexible Sections AIHTML supports different types of sections. These include inverted sections and lambda sections, giving more flexibility in templating.

Use Cases

AIHTML can be used in many ways.

1. Web Development AIHTML is great for developing web applications where dynamic content rendering is needed.
2. Templating It can be used for creating reusable templates for emails, reports, and other documents.
3. Content Management AIHTML can help manage and render content dynamically. This makes it good for content management systems.

Additional Information

AIHTML uses erlang mk as its building tool and currently supports only erlang mk. It needs bootstrapping before rendering Mustache files, using the function ai mustache bootstrap. This function turns all Mustache files with the .mustache suffix into IR code and stores them in ETS.
