# sjabloon
sjabloon is a modern templating engine for Rust with a JSX-like syntax. writing
templates is comparable to writing JSX on the server.
## overview of features
you can define templates using the `template` macro. this macro will be
transpiled to a `format` macro call at build-time, which will result in a
string at run-time. "components" are just functions/closures which return a
string.
###### elegant and simple syntax
- use braced blocks to write arbitrary Rust code
- braces can be omitted for attribute values
- quoted and unquoted text nodes
- fragments
```rust
fn article(article: Article) -> String {
template! {
<a href=format!("articles/{}", article.slug)>
<article>
<img
src=article.cover.url
alt=article.cover.alt
width="400"
height="200"
/>
<h2>{article.title}</h2>
<small>author: {article.author}</small>
</article>
</a>
}
}
fn articles_list(articles: Vec<Article>) -> String {
template! {
<section>
<h1>articles</h1>
<ul>
{articles.into_iter().map(article).collect::<Vec<String>>().join("")}
</ul>
</section>
}
}
```
