const string = renderTemplate('<div><%= foo %></div>', {
  foo: 'bar',
});

Multiple templates

views/item.html

<li>
  <%- name %>
</li>

views/main.html

<ul>
  <% items.forEach(function(item) { %>
    <%= renderTemplate(itemTemplate, item) %>
  <% }); %>
</ul>

import { renderTemplate } from '@soleil-se/app-util/server';
import mainTemplate from './views/main.html';
import itemTemplate from './views/item.html';

const items = [{ name: 'Foo' }, { name: 'Bar' }, { name: 'Baz' }];
const string = renderTemplate(mainTemplate, { items, itemTemplate });

NOTE Remember that the second argument must be an object and that objects properties are accessed directly in any child templates!
