Differences Between HTML and Pug

Pug (formerly Jade) is a high-performance templating engine that simplifies HTML markup with its cleaner syntax:

  • Pug uses indentation instead of closing tags
  • Eliminates need for angle brackets and quotes in most cases
  • Supports mixins, conditionals, and loops for dynamic content
  • Reduces boilerplate code and makes templates more readable
  • Can be compiled to HTML for use in web applications

Pug Best Practices

Use consistent indentation (either spaces or tabs) throughout your Pug files

Utilize mixins to reuse code blocks and maintain DRY principle

Take advantage of Pug's built-in filters for content processing

Use includes to break down large templates into manageable pieces

Consider using variables and interpolation for dynamic content generation

Pug Integration with Frameworks

Pug can be easily integrated with popular JavaScript frameworks:

  • Express.js: Directly supported as a templating engine
  • Vue.js: Can be used with vue-cli-plugin-pug
  • React: Works with tools like create-react-app-pug
  • Angular: Integration possible through custom builders
  • Next.js: Configurable for server-side rendering

Many build tools like Webpack, Gulp, and Grunt also have Pug support through plugins.
