@temples or templ(at)es are templates for HTML that you won't hate. Templates are plain
HTML blocks decorated with a few data-bind attributes — no non-HTML syntax, no framework. The
same templates render in the browser and on the server.
This repository is a Bun workspace monorepo. It is a rewriting of the original temples v0 template system, with jQuery replaced by a standard, DOM-based engine.
| Package | Description |
|---|---|
@temples/engine |
The standalone Renderer: data-bind / data-iterate / data-render-if / data-show-if / data-hide-if, partial real-time updates, serialization. |
@temples/components |
The TemplesComponent base class for declarative Web Components with reactive state. |
@temples/ssr |
Server-side rendering and static site generation, wired to linkedom. |
@temples/jquery |
The $.fn.temples(data) jQuery plugin (jQuery is a peer dependency). |
The packages ship plain ES modules. The minified builds have the following sizes:

Run bun run build and then bun run build:report --summary to regenerate this table.
The documentation site is built in packages/docs — with temples itself. It
deploys as a static site to https://zipang.github.io/temples/, and ships an llms.txt for AI
coding agents.
