Renderers

Renderers are JS or TS functions of type Renderer that elaborate a given data source and produce the HTML.

Renderers are invoked by directives. When invoking a renderer directives normally pass to them the data they need to produce the desired HTML.

For example, the built-in directives create-from-data-source and public-file-list use renderers to generate the HTML to inject into pages.

YASSB comes with two built-in renderers:

• basicElement; and
• liDateDescription.

These are very simple renderers and you will probably want to define custom renderers to generate the DOM elements that best fit your needs.
