Prologue doesn't provide any templates engines. But we recommend karax to you. karax is a powerful template engine based on DSL. It is suitable for server side rendering.

You should use nimble install karax or logue extension karax to install it.

import karax / [karaxdsl, vdom]

const frameworks = ["Prologue", "Httpx", "Starlight"]


proc render*(L: openarray[string]): string =
  let vnode = buildHtml(tdiv(class = "mt-3")):
    h1: text "Which is my favourite web framework?"
    p: text "echo Prologue"

    ul:
      for item in L:
        li: text item
    dl:
      dt: text "Is Prologue an elegant web framework?"
      dd: text "Yes"
  result = $vnode

echo render(frameworks)

You can combine them easily and create reusable components for later use. They are just like plain functions. It is very flexible for you to use them.

import karax / [karaxdsl, vdom]

const frameworks = ["Prologue", "Httpx", "Starlight"]

proc prepare(L: openarray[string]): VNode =
  result = buildHtml(tdiv):
    ul:
      for item in L:
        li: text item
    dl:
      dt: text "Is Prologue an elegant web framework?"
      dd: text "Yes"

proc render*(L: openarray[string]): VNode =
  result = buildHtml(tdiv(class = "mt-3")):
    h1: text "Which is my favourite web framework?"
    p: text "echo Prologue"
    prepare(L)


echo $render(frameworks)
