Works in IE, Firefox and Webkit browsers. Most templating languages suck
Ok, if your like me then you hate all templating langauges- they suck, they really suck. I hate them because I hate the rules they enforce upon me, they are slow, and they slow me down. Because of this, usually I end up making code that looks like this:
UGLY:
`function display(data) { var output = “
}`
How horrible is that? That’s probably worse than using a bad templating langauge.
Well, after disappointments with other jQuery templating plugins, I decided to make my own:
The Solution: PureJSTemplate
With PureJSTemplate you use old fashioned javascript in your template. You simply surround the javascript in special tags. Here’s an example of what you can do:
<#for(var i=0; i<10; i++) { #> <#=i#> <#}#> That will output the numbers 0 through 9. Easy, isn't it?
Using it:
You simply surround your template code with a textarea tag:
and call it from javascript like so:
$(“#output”).pureJSTemplate( { id:”tpl”, data:{} });
That’s it.
