Ask HN: Are you still using server-side templating or have you returned to it?
- moocowtruck 8y agoSoon I will be returning to it (joining a company that extensively uses it) and really the argument i thought about making is why, but in reality I will be faced with a ..why not? I'm not sure i'm interested in fighting it either if it doesn't pose much a problem
- kureikain 8y agoI tried both and I think in the future I'm going to going back to server-side templating. One thing I found hard with client-side rendering is duplicated logic/model in client/server. Say I add a field to database, I added it to model on server. Nows I have to do it on the client. Granted We can use code generation or tool like Protobuf etc but the fact remain that the rendering logic is somewhere else. Plus I have to hack a lot for client side rendering if we don't want to use `#` trick. So I feel I'm going backward but prolly I will started to do more with serverside templating
