How load several HTML files as "document" and then manipulate them with Javascript?

I want to create and manipulate several HTML files with JavaScript and NodeJS. The usual way to update HTML files is to include an update script at the top, but I want to create multiple HTML files with one JS file. I have a list with the necessary data to process. It contains the names for the HTML files and the data to put in.

My idea was to use a model.html file, which contains the data, that will be included in all of the files. This model file will be copied and renamed to the necessary file. Then I want to load it with a NodeJS module or any other way fit, so it will be recognized as "document" as if the script was included in the file. Then I want to manipulate it with plain JS. A for loop should iterate through the list and create the file, load it as "document", manipulate it and then go to the next file.

Is this possible?

If you want to just parse the HTML and get the document and operate on it you can check https://cheerio.js.org/

If you want to execute the Javascript also then you need to use Headless browsers like Headless Chrome
