proper-tags is an evolved version of the widely-used CommonJS package common-tags. It has been updated with the following considerations for modern JavaScript environments:

  • 🌟 Extendable: Comes with built-in tools for creating custom tags.
  • πŸ“¦ ESM Code Base: Ensures native compatibility with modern development tools.
  • πŸ¦• Deno Compatibility: Designed specifically to function seamlessly with the Deno runtime.
  • πŸ“ TypeScript Definitions: Integrated TypeScript typings make development in TypeScript a breeze.
  • πŸ”„ API Consistency: The interface aligns with common-tags, ensuring compatibility with existing frameworks and guides.

Below is a quick guide, check out the full documentation at https://proper-tags.56k.guru.
