SmtRails

Shared mustache templates for Rails 3 and 4 and Sprockets 2 and 3.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'smt_rails', :git => 'git://github.com/railsware/smt_rails.git'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install smt_rails

Usage

$ rails g smt_rails:install

Generator add into "application.js" requirements for mustache and "templates" folder in "app". Next you can create mustache templates in this folder or subfolders.

For example:

File: "app/templates/tests/_test.mustache"

Hello {{msg}}!!!

In view you can render this template by this way:

<%= render "tests/test", :mustache => {msg: "Test"} %>

The same template you can render in JavaScript:

var content = SMT['tests/test']({msg: "Test"});

Mustache Partials

File: "app/templates/people/_list.mustache"

{{#people}}{{>people/item}}{{/people}}

File: "app/templates/people/_item.mustache"

Name: {{name}}<br>

In view you can render this template by this way:

<%= render "people/list", :mustache => {people: [{name: 'Alex'}, {name: 'John'}]} %>

The same template you can render in JavaScript:

var content = SMT['people/list']({people: [{name: 'Alex'}, {name: 'John'}]});

Configuration

  config.template_extension = 'mustache' # change extension of mustache templates
  config.action_view_key    = 'mustache' # change name of key for rendering in ActionView mustache template
  config.template_namespace = 'SMT'      # change templates namespace in javascript
  config.template_base_path = Rails.root.join("app", "templates") # templates dir
end
