Description
Template7 is a mobile-first JavaScript template engine with handlebars.js like syntax. It is ultra lightweight and blazing-fast default template engine in Framework7.
First, we need to pass the following parameter on app initialization that renders all Ajax and dynamic pages as Template7 template −
var myApp = new Framework7 ({
template7Pages: true // enable Template7 rendering for Ajax and Dynamic pages
});
| S.No | Template7 Pages Usage & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Templates/Pages Data
You can pass the required data/context for specific pages by specifying all pages data in template7Data parameter, sent on initializing an App. |
| 2 | Pass Custom Context
Framework7 allows you to pass custom context to any dynamic page or any loaded Ajax. |
| 3 | Load Templates Directly
You can render and load templates on fly as dynamic pages. |
| 4 | URL Query
If you are using Template7 for rendering Ajax pages, its context always will be extended with special property url_query. |
Example
The following example provides the links, which displays the user information such as user details, user likes, etc. when you click on those links.
