Introduction

Tint is a DOM-based template engine and compiles the output to hyperscript functions.

While on the surface it may look like a normal (text-based) template engine, it has some important differences:

• you can use functions and will be bound to DOM element events.
• the syntax must always be valid HTML, in order to use the javascript DOM.
• although it is currently implemented in the browser and deno, as long as the DOM API is available, can be implemented in javascript runtimes such as node.
• there is no dot syntax, javascript expressions, filters, delimiters for text interpolation or any kind of logic other than the special attributes available, this is a decision made in order for the template to be as free of logic as possible.
• all complex data operations must be done in javascript before rendering the template.
