What is a PUG File Type?
You will probably only encounter a PUG if you are a web developer using the Pug Templating engine to generate dynamic HTML web pages. Pug allows developers to create web pages with a usable static markup, while inserting dynamic elements on the pages that will be filled with d'information; an external source, such as a database, later.
For example, a PUG file can be used by a developer to create a website where employees can update their personal information. The PUG template contains a static layout that makes it look similar for each employee. However, it also stores dynamic elements, such as a beacon; unk > employee< unk > which is filled with the name of the apo; database employee when a user requests the page.
Pug can be used on the front (running in web browsers) or backend (running with NodeJS, a JavaScript environment) d' a website. It is one of the many JavaScript template engines used by web developers, including EJS, Mustache, Handlebars, HAML, Vash and Nunjucks.
Formerly known as Jade, Pug was renamed in 2015.
