Javascript template or another solution?

Question

New to webdev.

I need to use the same menu on all the pages of new website i'm building but I'm not willing to edit the menu every time a change it in every file.

Is there a simple template engine for javascript or another solution to fix this issue?

This problem is usually solved by your web framework, though it's achievable via JavaScript, too. Are you using a web development framework? — cheeken

If the menu is dynamically constructed via your website, then you're best bet is to use server-side templates.

In PHP you can do:

include("menu.php");

Wherever you need it to display.

In JavaScript, if you need to style the menu, then check out Mustache.JS or similar.
