How do i import html into javascript?

Following this answer example (one of the answer in this question), I made this little reusable function:

/**
 * Render the array of html files, to the
 * selected container.
 * @param {*} pages - array of html file names
 * @param {*} container - HTML element name
 */
function render(pages, container) {
    const template = document.createElement("template");
    var ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();

    pages.forEach(element => {
        // this is the route where the files are stored
        ajax.open("GET", `./view/shared/${element}.html`, false);
        ajax.send();
        template.innerHTML += ajax.responseText;
    });

    document.querySelector(container).append(template.content);
}

export { render };

Which you can use in your index.js file, like so:

import { render } from "./tools/render.js";

var headerContent = ["siteName", "navbar"];

render(headerContent, "header");

This is rendering the html files siteName.html and navbar.html, into the

tag in the root index.html file of the site.

NOTE. This function works on localhost, but for whatever reason (which I still have to fix; I'll let you know when I do) it does not work correctly when working on GitHub Pages.

import template from './temlplate.html'; does not work in a browser.

How do i import html into javascript?

It is much easier to develop web applications when HTML templates and JavaScript stay separate. The template of the illustration is borrowed from Human Vectors by Vecteezy.

Although some frameworks oblige developers to mix everything, generally web development is easier when the layout, styles and application logic are separated. You layout a page and its component in .html files, style them in .css files and add the logic implemented in many tiny modules each dedicated…

Including JavaScript in your page is a fairly simple process.

First, What Is JavaScript?

From the W3C Schools Site:

  • JavaScript was designed to add interactivity to HTML pages
  • JavaScript is a scripting language
  • A scripting language is a lightweight programming language
  • JavaScript is usually embedded directly into HTML pages
  • JavaScript is an interpreted language (means that scripts execute without preliminary compilation)
  • Everyone can use JavaScript without purchasing a license

Including the JavaScript

You can include JavaScript in your HTML in two ways:

  • Writing the code in your HTML
  • Including it as a link to an external file

For the most part, you will include the JavaScript as an external file.

The Script Tag

The

When using the script tag, we must always use the attribute name and value of type="text/javascript".

Using the script tag to include an external JavaScript file

To include an external JavaScript file, we can use the script tag with the attribute src. You've already used the src attribute when using images. The value for the src attribute should be the path to your JavaScript file.

This script tag should be included between the tags in your HTML document.

JavaScript Files

JavaScript files are not HTML files or CSS files.
  • Always end with the js extension
  • Only include JavaScript

JavaScript Frameworks

A Framework is basically a library of code for a certain language. Generally, the framework abstracts common tasks and makes it easier and faster for designers and developers to write their specific code. Frameworks don't really do anything by themselves, they just provide an easier platform for people to build on.

Common JavaScript Frameworks:

  • JQuery
  • Prototype
  • MooTools
  • script.aculo.us

Of these frameworks, JQuery is currently the most popular one. It's also the one you're most like to encounter being used as a buzz word.

JavaScript File Sizes

Many JavaScript files can tend to be rather large, which can slow down the load time of your page. Popular frameworks usually offer a "minified" version of their code. You should always use this version in your pages because it will have a smaller file size.
