<h1>{{ pagename|title }}</h1>
<ul>
{% for author in authors %}
    <li{% if loop.first %} class="first"{% endif %}>{{ author }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

node.js code

const wjst  = require('wjst');
const template = wjst.compileFile('./index.html');
const output = template({
    pagename: 'awesome people',
    authors: ['Den', 'Paul', 'Jane']
});

<ul>
    <li class="first">Den</li>
    <li>Paul</li>
    <li>Jane</li>
</ul>

For working example see examples/basic

How it works

Wjst reads template files and translates them into cached javascript functions. When we later render a template we call the evaluated function, passing a context object as an argument.
