Hey everyone, I’m working on a custom templating system for frontend development. It’s similar to Smarty, where tags are interpreted. I’m curious about letting these tags interact with the HTML and other custom tags. What do you think?
Some pros I’ve thought of:
Tags could style each other
Custom tags would blend in with HTML
Tags could change any part of the page
But there are cons too:
Tags might mess up other parts of the page
Tags could clash with each other
It might take longer to code
Has anyone tried something like this? Is it worth the effort? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Your project sounds intriguing, Owen. I’ve worked on similar systems before, and while the potential for flexibility is appealing, it’s crucial to consider the trade-offs. Security could be a significant concern, especially if you’re allowing tags to modify the DOM directly. Have you looked into sandboxing techniques to mitigate potential risks? Additionally, maintainability might become an issue as the project scales. Clear documentation and strict coding standards would be essential. Perhaps consider implementing a robust error handling system to catch and report issues early in the development process. It’s a challenging endeavor, but could yield valuable insights into template engine design.
hey owen, sounds like an interesting project! i’ve dabbled w/ similar stuff. one thing to watch out for is browser compatibility issues. have u thought about how different browsers might interpret ur custom tags? also, debugging could get tricky. maybe start small and scale up gradually?
ooh, that sounds intriguing! have u considered how it might impact page load times? i’m curious about the potential for creating dynamic, interactive components. could u share more about ur implementation? maybe there’s a way to balance flexibility and performance? what inspired u to explore this approach?
