3.4.0 HTMLTemplateElement

  • R

    I noticed this in the patch notes:

    core: Support for HTMLTemplateElement (<template>). The former <ons-template> is still supported for backward compatibility.

    Can someone provide me with a better explanation of what this means?

    I would greatly appreciate it. :)

    @rgins16 So fast :sweat_smile: We will release a blog post speaking about these features soon. Basically, you can use <template> element, which is supported natively by current browsers, instead of <ons-template>. This way, you are relying on a native feature that should be safer than a custom made one. Also, <template> elements allow <script> tags, so you can add your initialization code next to the template if you prefer it that way (instead of using page life-cycle events).

    <ons-template> will still be supported for now so it’s not completely necessary to update everything. However, if you are creating something new then <template> is preferable.

    @Fran-Diox oh sorry! I’m too eager to learn about new features. I look forward to reading the blog post.
