I have a lot of elements that are created on the fly from data received on the server, as JSON. To create these elements a lot of HTML is going inside my JavaScript code. Is there any solution to this problem? The JavaScript code is polluted and writing HTML tags becomes harder and less maintainable.

@cgatian How would these work (not the library itself but the concept)? Thank you!user3704920– user37049202014-06-12 23:31:28 +00:00Commented Jun 12, 2014 at 23:31

1@user3704920, run through the first 3 tutorials here: http://learn.knockoutjs.com. It's aimed at Knockout, but I think it will also give you a pretty good idea of what all these so-called JavaScript MV* frameworks are all about. And for a good comparison of what other frameworks are out there, check out this site: todomvc.comLukas S.– Lukas S.2014-06-12 23:37:52 +00:00Commented Jun 12, 2014 at 23:37

Templating tools such as handlebars, mustache and dust.js were designed to solve this very problem.

@RokoC.Buljan Sure isn't. Which is why my answer doesn't suggest any particular library, but rather states that the solution is to use a templating library which has been tried and tested to solve this issue.

@RokoC.Buljan, I would say from the sound of the original question, the user is not aware that these libraries even exist.

Might want to look at angular.js as well. angularjs.org

@Andrew +1 even better. <3
ngEmber.js is another alternative that allows you to remove HTML from your JavaScript through their templating tool called HTMLBars.
Check it out!
