I bet you haven't heard of this cool HTML tag & trick!

Today we're going to look at the html template tag. It's a tag that sort of does literally nothing! Meaning it makes all of the html/css/js that's inside of it do nothing, not even visible!
Learn about this fancy html tag and how you can leverage it for some fairly common use cases.

Genius! You're the BEST! This was my intro to Template Tag.

[@photoinshot1355]

Brilliant thanks! Did not know anything about the Template tag.

[@nullzero9224]

Nice. A small note regarding defer and type="module". They should not come together. When you declare a script as of type "module" , the processing of the script contents is deferred.The charset and defer attributes have no effect according to MDN docs. Its only enough to use defer

Good to know!

[@kevinwiens4804]

Thanks Andrew this is sweet!

I usually use `` in js to make html then add it to innerHTML of a created element

[@FollowAndrew]

Good tip here, the template literals are great especially if needing to pass in dynamic data

[@paevents8064]

An awesome tutorial

[@suvrotica]

New for me loved it

[@Vortexo07]

Hello I've made a e-commerce site on which the products section is made with template tag but unfortunately I don't know why, upon hosting on internet, the contents of the template dissappears even tho it works perfectly fine while normally... What could be the issue...I REALLY APPRECIATE your help! 😢

[@FollowAndrew]

Not sure there? Check casing for all code, var names etc. I've seen casing issues work locally, but not live

[@mikaelfarro]

Thanks

How or can one use it in ReactJS?

[@Tony.Nguyen137]

Which performs better? 1. Innerthtml = `…`; 2. template tag or 3. your first solution with create Element, addClass… Or it doesnt matter?

[@constantine9074]

as far as I know innerHTML has some security issues , till today I was using always createelement and appendchild (which is lil bit more code)

[@MattCurney]

Cool! This is supported in all browsers yeah?

[@FollowAndrew]

Yep 97.77% coverage as of this comment.

[@peterloader974]

And if each card is different, what then? It seems redundant to me.

[@Markus-iq4sm]

then you do not have a `template`, obviously

[@Silverflame1]

You can change the content of the cloned template with JavaScript. I suppose it's easier then always creating new elements.

I am going to suggest that the spec needs to ban outright divs as people use them in demos. The title doesn't fit the video as it goes off course about JavaScript and wasn't what I was looking for in search.
