Use mithril views to render server side

Usage Example

npm install mithril-node-render

// Make Mithril happyif(!global.window){global.window=global.document=global.requestAnimationFrame=undefined}varm=require('mithril')varrender=require('mithril-node-render')render(m('span','huhu')).then(function(html){// html === '<span>huhu</span>'})varhtml=render.sync(m('span','huhu'))// html === '<span>huhu</span>'

As you see the rendering is asynchronous. It lets you await certain data from withinoninit hooks.

varmyAsyncComponent={oninit:function(node,waitFor){waitFor(newPromise(function(resolve){node.state.foo='bar'resolve()}))},view:function(node){returnm('div',node.state.foo)}}render(myAsyncComponent).then(function(html){// html === '<div>bar</div>'})

You can also render synchronously. You just don't get thewaitFor callback.

varmyAsyncComponent={oninit:function(node,waitFor){// waitFor === undefinednewPromise(function(resolve){node.state.foo='bar'resolve()})},view:function(node){returnm('div',node.state.foo)}}varhtml=render.sync(myAsyncComponent)// html === '<div>bar</div>'

Optionally pass in options as an object:render(component, options).

The following options are supported:

escapeAttribute(value)Default: render.escapeAttributeA filter function for attribute values. Receives value, returns what is printed.

escapeText(value)Default: render.escapeTextA filter function for string nodes. Receives value, returns what is printed.

strictDefault: falseSet this to true to close all empty tags automatically. Default is standard HTML mode where tags like<br> and<meta> are allowed to implicitly close themselves. This should be set totrue if you're rendering XML-compatible HTML documents.

xmlDefault: falseSet this to true to render as generic XML instead of (possibly XML-compatible) HTML. Default is HTML mode, where children of void elements are ignored. This impliesstrict: true.
