Using the es6 Template Engine

The early releases of DADI Web relied on a single templating engine, DustJS. It's powerful, lightweight, extendable, and has just the right amount of logic. But it's not to everyone's taste. So in Web 3.0 we introduced template engine support, giving the engineer a choice of templating languages and making it quick and easy for them to roll their own.

We recently built an RSS feed using DADI Web. This is arelatively straight forward task, so rather than using DustJS we decided to make use of the new ES6 engine.

Here's a snippet of the item iterator:

${articles.results
  .map(i =>
    \`<item>
      <guid isPermaLink="false">${i.\_id}</guid>
      <title>${clean(i.title)}</title>
      <link>${i.url}</link>
