Rendering templates obsolete

(tl;dr DOM builders like [domo][domo] trump HTML templates on the client.)

Like all web developers, I've used a lot of template engines. Like most, I've also written a few of them, some of which even [fit in a tweet][140].

The first open-source code I ever wrote was also one of the the first template engines for node.js, [a port][node-tmpl] of the mother of all JavaScript template engines, [John Resig][jresig]'s [micro-templates][tmpl]. Of course, these days you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a template engine; one in eight packages on npm ([2,220][npm templates] of 16,226 as of 10/19) involve templates.

John's implementation has since evolved and [lives on in Underscore.js][underscore], which means it's the default choice for templating in Backbone.js. And for a while, it's all I would ever use when building a client-side app.

But I can't really see the value in client-side HTML templates anymore.

Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching Web URLs
The regex patterns in this gist are intended only to match web URLs -- http,
https, and naked domains like "example.com". For a pattern that attempts to
match all URLs, regardless of protocol, see: https://gist.github.com/gruber/249502
# Single-line version:

winzig / Liberal Regex Pattern for URLs
Last active July 30, 2024 22:09 — forked from gruber/Liberal Regex Pattern for Web URLs
Updated @gruber's regex with a modified version that looks for 2-13 letters rather than trying to look for specific TLDs, and many other improvements. (UPDATE 2018-07-30: Support for IPv4 addresses, bare hostnames, naked domains, xn-- internationalized domains, and more... see comments for BREAKING CHANGE.)
# Single-line version:
(?i)\b(https?:\/{1,3})?((?:(?:[\w.\-]+\.(?:[a-z]{2,13})|(?<=http:\/\/|https:\/\/)[\w.\-]+)\/)(?:[^\s()<>{}\[\]]+|\([^\s()]*?\([^\s()]+\)[^\s()]*?\)|\([^\s]+?\))+(?:\([^\s()]*?\([^\s()]+\)[^\s()]*?\)|\([^\s]+?\)|[^\s`!()\[\]{};:'\".,<>?«»“”‘’])|(?:(?<!@)(?:\w+(?:[.\-]+\w+)*\.(?:[a-z]{2,13})|(?:(?:[0-9](?!\d)|[1-9][0-9](?!\d)|1[0-9]{2}(?!\d)|2[0-4][0-9](?!\d)|25[0-5](?!\d))[.]?){4})\b\/?(?!@)(?:[^\s()<>{}\[\]]+|\([^\s()]*?\([^\s()]+\)[^\s()]*?\)|\([^\s]+?\))*(?:\([^\s()]*?\([^\s()]+\)[^\s()]*?\)|\([^\s]+?\)|[^\s`!()\[\]{};:'\".,<>?«»“”‘’])?))
# Commented multi-line version:
(?xi)
\b
(https?:\/{1,3})? # Capture $1: (optional) URL scheme, colon, and slashes
( # Capture $2: Entire matched URL (other than optional protocol://)
