I currently use two libraries I wrote to keep things easy.
https://code.dlang.org/packages/arrogant
https://code.dlang.org/packages/reserved
The first one is a html5 parser. So you don't need any template,
you can directly read html and then edit them just like you are
used to do in js, for example.
For example:
auto src = `Hello
World`;
auto arrogant = Arrogant();
auto tree = arrogant.parse(src);
// Change div content from "Hello World!" to "Hello D!"
tree.byTagName("div").front.innerText = "Hello D!";
// Print the edited html
writeln(tree.document);
The second library is a scgi library that allow you to send data
to any webserver that support scgi (f.e. nginx). It works like
php:
import reserved;
@ReservedResponse
private void response(Request req, Output output)
{
output ~= "Hello ";
if ("name" in req.get)
output ~= req.get["name"];
else
output ~= "World";
// Using the library above you can do something like this
instead:
// output ~= tree.document;
}
mixin Reserved!"awesome_d_webservice";
So if you combine those two libraries you can output a
validated/well-formed html5 document in a easy way.

Do you know of template engines in D ? like Jinja2 in Python for example. It would be way more lightweight and free-dependancies compared to a fully featured framework like DiamondMVC, besides the gain in time thanks to the simplicity of use. The learning curve is actually not that long since it's a relative small setup. It's a heavy beast, BUT everything is pretty much optional and opt-in, so you really only just use what you need. So for templating, just setup a project, the configuration and then create views. As soon as you're familiar with the template syntax then you're good to go without knowing the whole framework etc. You can write templates using D in it. Simple example: After 3.0.0 which is coming soon then @<> is replaced by @() layout.dd: ``` @ Website - @ @ ``` home.dd: Notes: placeholders is equivalent to an associative array in D. ``` @[ route: home --- placeholders: [ "title": "Home" ] ] Hello World! ``` Output: ``` Website - Home Hello World! ``` It's pretty much plug and play too using this as an empty example project: https://diamondmvc.org/download See empty project. It'll be ready to just compile and run. After that you can just work with views if you just want to use simple templates. No need to know the whole framework or any long installation guides.

If you're most comfortable with PHP you may want to look at Adam Ruppe's arsd[0]; the readme has an overview of web-related and database-related modules. vibe.d has more of a node.js feel. There's also DiamondMVC[1], which reminds me of ASP.NET (I'm not 100% sure whether that's intentional, and I haven't tried Diamond) and includes an ORM. > Finally, what database system do you recommand to interact with for > data-oriented website purpose?

You may want to browse a bit and see what you like. I believe the Diamond ORM can be used without the rest of the framework, and the hunt-entity ORM is actively developed.

How to implement D to HTML pages ?
Hello guys, I would like to implement a forum and a blog within my website (currently including only HTML, CSS and JS, written without CMS), using D and SQL but I really don't know how to proceed. How can I integrate D into HTML pages? Are there any kind of include's commands like PHP ? Also, do I have to use vibe.d ? Or is it optional? I admit I didn't read the book yet (D Web Development), but only "Programming in D", which doesn't deal much with website workflow. Finally, what database system do you recommand to interact with for data-oriented website purpose? Perhaps, there are some standard or tierce-party librairies or ORM for PostgreSQL or SQLite ? Thanks for all the light anyone will be willing to spread :)
