Minimal templating engine, based on mustache's syntax, but with only the bare minimum feature. Up to 2x faster and 21x smaller than mustache.
npm install minimustache
yarn add minimustache
pnpm add minimustache
bun add minimustacheimport minimustache from "minimustache";
const template = "Hello, {{name}}!";
const result = minimustache(template, { name: "world" });
console.log(result); // Hello, world!minimustache does not sanitize the input. Thus, there's no triple-brace syntax or anything like that. If you need to escape HTML, you should do it yourself.
In unpacked form, with CommonJS, ESM, and TypeScript definitions, minimustache is 5.3 kB. In comparison, mustache is 114 kB.
On an M1 processor, minimustache is between 1.12x and 2.05x faster than mustache, depending on the template and data.
If you wish to run the benchmark yourself, you can do so by cloning the repository, installing all dev depencies (bun i -D) and running bun bench.
