renderToTemplate()
Syntax: renderToTemplate(vnode, edits)
Example: renderToTemplate(<div>Hello World</div>, [])
The renderToTemplate() function is used to render a virtual DOM node to a string. This is used to create the template for the block and works tangentially with stringToDOM().
import { renderToTemplate } from 'million';
const edits = [];
const template = renderToTemplate(<div>Hello World</div>, edits);
console.log(template); // '<div>Hello World</div>'
console.log(edits); // []Holes in templates
You can also pass in Holes to the renderToTemplate() function. This will return the template with edits.
import { renderToTemplate } from 'million';
const edits = [];
const hole = { $: 'hole' };
const template = renderToTemplate(<div>Hello {hole}</div>, edits);
console.log(template); // '<div>Hello </div>'
console.log(edits); // [{ type: 'child', index: 0, hole: 'hole' }]
