@temples: Declarative HTML Templates

@temples or templ(at)es are templates for HTML that you won't hate. Templates are plain HTML blocks decorated with a few data-bind attributes — no non-HTML syntax, no framework. The same templates render in the browser and on the server.

This repository is a Bun workspace monorepo. It is a rewriting of the original temples v0 template system, with jQuery replaced by a standard, DOM-based engine.

Packages

Package	Description
@temples/engine	The standalone Renderer: data-bind / data-iterate / data-render-if / data-show-if / data-hide-if, partial real-time updates, serialization.
@temples/components	The TemplesComponent base class for declarative Web Components with reactive state.
@temples/ssr	Server-side rendering and static site generation, wired to linkedom.
@temples/jquery	The $.fn.temples(data) jQuery plugin (jQuery is a peer dependency).

Documentation

The documentation site is built in packages/docs — with temples itself. It deploys as a static site to https://zipang.github.io/temples/, and ships an llms.txt for AI coding agents.
