Description¶

The tag represents the root of an HTML document.

The tag is the container for all other HTML elements (except for the <!DOCTYPE> tag).

Use Case¶

setHTML and set Template¶

setHTML and set Template are data setting capabilities of HTML using the Templating Language.

setHTML¶

The setHTML capability allows you to set and display data.

This capability injects variable into a template.

Example

HTML Code:

<b style="color: red;">
    Hi my name is {{name}} //{{}}➡️templating language
</b>

HTML Output:

Hi my name is {{name}}

setHTML Code:

this.setData({html: I don't need no template})

HTML Output:

I don't need no template

set Template¶

The set Template capability allow you to use it for dynamic HTML solutions like rendering or updating dynamic data.

It uses a Template and an input object to generate HTML.

It always reads from the default value.

This capability will override the entire HTML text.

Example

HTML Code:

<b style="color: red;">
    Hi my name is {{name}} //{{}}➡️templating language
</b>

HTML Output:

Hi my name is {{name}}

set Template Code:

this.setData({html: {name: `Alice`}}) // in the HTML field setting an object here

HTML Output:

Hi my name is Alice

This capability uses Handlebars to create the template.
