Kumis is a full-featured, fully asynchronous templating engine for modern JavaScript runtimes. Inspired by Jinja2 and originally built on top of Nunjucks, the engine brings familiar syntax together with first-class async rendering, a robust extension system, and integration with the Jymfony ecosystem.
- Asynchronous by design — render templates and stream output without blocking the event loop.
- Jinja-compatible syntax — use template inheritance, macros, filters, tests, and control structures you already know.
- Extensible runtime — register custom filters, tests, globals, and extensions to adapt Kumis to your application.
- Filesystem and cached loaders — ship templates from disk, memory, or bespoke loaders tailored to your needs.
- Jymfony integration — includes a framework bundle, cache warmers, and security/var-dumper extensions for seamless usage inside Jymfony apps.
Kumis targets Node.js 18 and newer. Add it to your project with npm:
npm install @jymfony/kumisRender a template string or load templates from disk using the built-in filesystem loader:
import { Environment, Loader, Template } from '@jymfony/kumis';
// Configure the loader to point to your template directory.
const loader = new Loader('/absolute/path/to/templates');
const env = Environment.create(loader);
// Render from a template string.
const greeting = new Template('Hello {{ name }}!', env);
console.log(await greeting.render({ name: 'Kumis' }));
// Or render a file located inside the loader's directory.
console.log(await env.render('emails/welcome.kumis', { user: 'Alice' }));When running inside a Jymfony application you can also rely on the provided bundle and services defined under src/Bundle to register the engine automatically.
npm run test— execute the full test suite.npm run test:instrument— run the tests with nyc to produce coverage reports incoverage/.
Coverage reports can be uploaded to services such as Codecov or Coveralls. The badge above references Codecov; configure your CI workflow to publish the coverage/lcov.info output generated by npm run test:instrument.
Publishing a new version is handled by the "Release" GitHub Actions workflow. Push a tag such as v1.2.3 to GitHub and the job will:
- Update
package.jsonandpackage-lock.jsonwith the tag's semantic version. - Install dependencies and generate release notes while creating a GitHub Release for the tag.
- Publish the package to npm with
npm publish --access public.
The workflow authenticates with npm using the NPM_TOKEN secret, which must have the publish scope for the @jymfony organization.
