Elvis
Elvis is a JavaScript library for creating and building DOM elements programmatically. It does this using native, cross-browser APIs (createElement
et al). Elvis works like a template library, except without having to compile templates from strings. DOM generating code must also be valid JavaScript, and it really shines when used with a transpiled language like CoffeeScript. It is inspired by template languages like Jade and HAML.
var el = elvis;
el(document.body, [
el('nav', el('ul', [
el('li', el('a(href="/")', 'Home')),
el('li', el('a(href="/news")', 'News')),
...
])),
el('#contents', [
el('span.my-class', 'Hello, World!')
])
]);
