Support for templating about boilerplate-card HOT 6 CLOSED

I don't think I'll add it as I don't think you should really be doing it in the frontend. Easy to get some big performance issues. You can check out https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-template-entity-row/blob/master/src/main.js for ideas on how to implement it though.

The main thing is that you want to restrict when you call it so that you only re-evaluate when necessary.

Thanks for the feedback!

Am I correct to say that performance impact could be limited if you only render the template when the entity has changed state?

yes

Thank you for the feedback. I've implemented it like this.

Sorry to reopen this issue.

I want to reiterate the notion of having templating support in this boilerplate card. I recently found that button-card has support for Javascript-based templates. These are executed in the front-end and have no performance impact.

I implemented it into my own card (button-text-card) and I feel like this way of templating is very powerful. I can't shake the thought that it would be nice to offer a standard way of front-end templating.

What are your thoughts? I can open a PR if you think it's a good idea to include in this project.

I don't think the boilerplate-card is the place to do it, first off. I think this would be better suited for something in a node module, like custom-card-helpers
