Description
⚠️ **this feature is strictly related to the data cascade proposal from #16 and probably should be implemented either together or after the data cascade is implemented**.
xm should be able to render collections of data. For this I imagined we could use a `` tag with a new attribute called `from` (name can be changed).
`from` takes an array of flat objects (a string of JSON), iterates over them and repeats its content while filling the slots:
For advanced use cases `from` accepts:
- glob patterns (grab fills from other HTML files)
- JSON file paths
- path to a JS module that exports an array or a function
- path to a JS module that exports an async function
The async function version is super powerful 💣
async functions can be used to fetch data from an API, database and perform any other asynchronous operation!
