Beagle is a high-performance, high-productivity templating engine for Node.js. It can be used both server side and with frontend frameworks like React, Angular, Vue, Svelte and others. It's an actively maintained fork of Pug with a modernized codebase with full type-safety, and better compatibility with SPA frameworks like React/Angular/Vue.
- In progress: The codebase has been ported over to TypeScript.
- In progress: Popular requested features from Beagle are being merged into the codebase. If there's something you'd like, please open an issue.
- Better support for frontend frameworks without having to use workarounds/hacks to make it work.
- All of the separate Beagle code repositories are merged into one, which just looks nicer and also means less duplicated code.
- Fully backwards compatible with Pug. Beagle is a drop-in replacement.
# Node.js
npm install beagle # Main library
npm install beagle-cli -g # If you want the Beagle CLI
# run the CLI
beagle --help
Beagle uses clean syntax for writing HTML. The goal is to shorten the amount of unnecessary code you need to write which leads to increases in productivity. Here is an example:
doctype html
html(lang="en")
head
title= pageTitle
script(type='text/javascript').
if (foo) bar(1 + 5);
body
h1 Beagle - node template engine
#container.col
if youAreUsingBeagle
p You are amazing
else
p Get on it!
p.
Beagle is a terse and simple templating language with a
strong focus on performance and powerful features.
Beagle transforms the above to:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Beagle</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (foo) bar(1 + 5);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Beagle - node template engine</h1>
<div id="container" class="col">
<p>You are amazing</p>
<p>
Beagle is a terse and simple templating language with a strong focus on
performance and powerful features.
</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
For now. Refer to the pug API and docs. We're working on our own replacement for the website eventually, which can also be updated for any new changes to Pug.
