A simple server-side HTML templating engine for Dart.

Though its syntax is but a superset of HTML, it supports features such as:
* **Custom elements**
* Loops
* Conditionals
* Template inheritance
* Block scoping
* `switch` syntax
* Interpolation of any Dart expression

Jael is a good choice for applications of any scale, especially when the development team is small,
or the time invested in building an SPA would be too much.

## Documentation
Each of the [packages within this repository](#this-repository) contains
some sort of documentation.

Documentation for Jael syntax and directives has been
**moved** to the
[Angel framework wiki](https://docs.angel-dart.dev/packages/front-end/jael).

## This Repository
Within this repository are three packages:

* `package:jael` - Contains the Jael parser, AST, and HTML renderer.
* `package:jael_preprocessor` - Handles template inheritance, and facilitates the use of "compile-time" constructs.
* `package:build_jael` - Uses `package:build` to compile Jael templates, therefore allowing speedy incremental builds to HTML files.
* `package:angel_jael` - [Angel](https://angel-dart.github.io) support for Jael. Angel contains other
facilities to speed up application development, so something like Jael is right at home.
