## Notes

Edge is a template engine for Node.js, written in TypeScript and published on npm as `edge.js`. An application installs the package from npm and calls its render method with a template path and a data object; the [getting-started guide](https://edgejs.dev/docs/getting_started) shows this inside a Node.js HTTP server that renders a template for each request. The package is ESM-only, so the importing application must use ES modules. AdonisJS applications use Edge as their template engine, and the AdonisJS documentation covers it there.
