Fetch external template script by web browser

Modern client side template libraries use tags of type text/html.

Every tutorial / article about it I read shows an example of such script which is embedded to the html page.

Are you aware of any way to make an external text/html script which would be loaded by the browser without using ajax or autogenerating the page on the server side?

I know that these two approaches are poss开发者_JS百科ible, but I want to be KISS as possible.

A page with many templates in it becomes a mess quickly.

What templating engine are you using? Most will accept a string in which case you can just request the template file via AJAX and provide the string to the template engine.

After some time and some experience I think I know an answer which would satisfy my question. The method is robust and easy to use.

There is a script loader which is called require.js. It handles loading javascripts, text files and i18n data from server asynchronously. It is quite simple to set up.

Additionally it allows to preprocess the site and inline those javascripts/text files for use in production mode.

This way development with good structure is easy and it also should work fast (no additional requests) for users.
