I am looking at some good templating systems to be used alongwith an MVC framework like Backbone.js
I am aware of one such system (jQuery Templating). However, the same has been discontinued for some reasons and hence I am looking at some other good options.
Please suggest something which is flexible enough from a view perspective. (e.g. a dynamic view with enabled/disabled button based on some logic, tabular data with different styles based on some logic, etc)
I really like Handlebars.js...
Here's some JavaScript...
var HandlebarsView = Backbone.View.extend({
el: '#result'
initialize: function(){
this.template = Handlebars.compile($('#template').html());
},
render: function(){
var html = this.template(this.model.toJSON());
this.$el.html(html);
}
});
var HandlebarsModel = Backbone.Model.extend({});
var model = new HandlebarsModel({
name: 'Joe Schmo',
birthday: '1-1-1970',
favoriteColor: 'blue'
});
var view = new HandlebarsView({
model: model
});
view.render();
Then the html...
<div id="result">
</div>
<script id="template" type="text/html">
<div>Name:{{name}} Birthday: {{birthday}} Favorite Color: {{favoriteColor}} </div>
</script>
Give that a shot!
