README

          
Selleck is yet another mustachioed templating library.  This (selleck.js) 

is the JavaScript version.

Installation

------------

Coming soon.

Usage

-----

Selleck keeps templates readable by limiting tags to statements ("for" and

"if"), variables, and partials.  A "for" tag loops over variables in an array:

    {for variable in array}

      
{variable}

    {/for}


An "if" tag only displays a section of the template for a truthy variable, or

the inverse:

    {if variable}

      
{variable}

    {/if}

    {if not variable}

      
No variable!

    {/if}


As you can see, "for" and "if" sections are closed by a corresponding tag with

a leading slash. 

Variable tags may use dot notation.  If the variable is a function, its return

value will be used:  

    {object.variable}

A partial tag begins with a greater-than sign.  It is replaced by a

sub-template at that spot in the template:

    
{>partial}


Templates are rendered as follows, where "template" is a string and "context"

and "partials" are objects:

    var rendered = selleck.render(template, context, partials);

Any tag is escaped from rendering by prepending a backslash:

    \{variable}

See the test directory for full usage examples.

Philosophy

----------

The limits of Selleck's templates (no filters or complex tags) encourage a

careful and thorough preparation of the context.  The retrieval, manipulation,

and conversion of data for display is kept separate from the presentation.

Selleck is influenced by these fine projects:
