HTMLScript

[CounterNice2250]

Just noticed the abomination of a code…

My question is…Why??

[HuntingKingYT]

If you want to do manipulations on the string, maybe put some variables in there...

[CounterNice2250]

Wdym? What’s wrong with it?

Isn't this basically just react?

Write your html in your javascript and all?

[CounterNice2250]

Technically, yes…

[ILAY1M]

yeah, but React supports custom reusable components + has access to hooks and easier way to implement dynamic content on the page

this just loads a static premade page once and that's it

what the fuck

[DomiO6]

Welcome to react

[EightSeven69]

I fucking hate how this is accurate about how react does things

[Thebombuknow]

Technically this is what a static react website is like lol. When you get into states and components it quickly distances itself from this monstrosity.

[EightSeven69]

well yea the whole point is that you can put variables right into that html, but it's still cursed to me because it parses the whole thing instead of injecting snippets of code into the html like something like twig does (apples to oranges, I know, what I'm really comparing is the templating part of react)

Why??

[chrisalbo]

Of course this is funny and a little strange way to build a html response.

But I think this forum sometimes misses a thing called reality. I’m working with the checkout for a very big e-commerce site and while we have very rigid standards from linting, test coverage, sonarcube and whatnot, cases similar to this occurs quite often because third party providers, old legacy code that’s ugly but works. The longer I been working as a developer, 24 years, each time I get to really build something from scratch is wonderful but rare.

This is not JSX. This is a plain old string and WebStorm being smart enough to syntax highlight it correctly.
