dt-compiler

library0.2.1jsnpmunverified

Δt dynamictemplate Compiler v0.2.1: a static HTML to Δt template compiler that automates separation of design (mockup HTML) and functionality. It compiles HTML masks that templates can use as selectors, ensuring template output matches the mockup structure. Requires dt-parser, dt-selector, and dynamictemplate as peer dependencies. Not actively developed; last release 2012. Differentiator: masks allow designer-driven updates without breaking templates, unlike manual template writing.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Compiler

✓ const { Compiler } = require('dt-compiler')

CommonJS only; no ESM support.

(default)

✓ const dtCompiler = require('dt-compiler')

✗ import dtCompiler from 'dt-compiler'

No default export; use named import or require the module directly.

compiler instance

✓ const compiler = new (require('dt-compiler').Compiler)

✗ import { Compiler } from 'dt-compiler'; const compiler = new Compiler() // only works if bundler supports CJS interop

Instantiate with new; no default export.

Compiles a mockup HTML file into a mask JavaScript file for use with dynamictemplate.

const { Compiler } = require('dt-compiler'); const compiler = new Compiler(); compiler.build({ src: "index.html", dest: "body.js", select: function () { return this.select('body', '*') }, done: function () { console.log("done."); process.exit(0); } });

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedPackage not updated since 2012; no support for modern Node.js or ES modules.

fix

Consider alternatives like jsdom or cheerio for HTML transformation.

affects: >=0.2.1

gotchaMask matching is fragile: typo in class name causes duplicate content instead of error.

fix

Double-check class names and selectors against the mockup.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaRequires exact peer dependency versions; install may fail with npm v3+.

fix

Use --legacy-peer-deps or install deps manually.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingNo ESM support; all imports must be CommonJS require().

fix

Use require() or a bundler that supports CJS.

affects: >=0.0.0
