Question 1

Is t.js safe from XSS attacks?

Accepted Answer

t.js provides scrubbed interpolation via {{%}} for unsafe values, but security depends on developer diligence. Always sanitize user inputs before templating to prevent vulnerabilities.

Question 2

t.js vs Handlebars: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

t.js is far smaller and simpler, ideal for lightweight needs, while Handlebars offers more features like helpers and partials but with larger size. Choose t.js for minimal overhead, Handlebars for richer templating.

Question 3

How to conditionally show content in t.js?

Accepted Answer

Use if/else blocks like {{value}}...{{:value}}...{{/value}} or if not blocks with {{!value}}...{{/!value}}, as shown in the README for basic logic handling.

Question 4

Can t.js be used with Node.js for server-side rendering?

Accepted Answer

t.js is designed for client-side innerHTML, but since it's pure JavaScript, you can adapt it for Node.js by outputting HTML strings. However, there's no official server-side support or optimization.

Question 5

What are the performance trade-offs of using t.js?

Accepted Answer

t.js has minimal runtime performance impact due to its tiny size, but using innerHTML for frequent updates can cause DOM repaints, so it's best for static or infrequently changed content.

Question 6

How to handle loops with nested objects in t.js?

Accepted Answer

Use {{@object_value}} blocks where _key and _val are accessible inside, and combine with name-spaced variables like {{=User.address.city}} for nested properties, per the README examples.
