I didn’t find any solution to “embed” javascript inside the template. This javascript must be evaluated right after the insertion (not at the templating time so not in

The main goal is to add logic associated to the template in an app that use a lot of ajax call etc…

So I made a simple hack :

add any javascript inside :

alert(‘hello world’)

and in jQote2 I have added this :

return this.each(function() {

//custom begin
str = str.replace(//g, ‘<script type=”text/javascript”>’);
str = str.replace(//g, ‘</script>’);
//custom end

var dom = $$(str);
$(this)[method](dom);

( dom[0].nodeType === 3 ?
$(this) : dom ).trigger(‘jqote.’+name, [dom, regexp]);
});

What do you think of this ?

Hi Steve,
I’m sorry you couldn’t figure out how to exactely define/deploy a template or its compiled lambda. I guess you must have overlooked the hint on this site’s top where I refer anyone not familiar with jQote to its introductory post: jQote – client-side templating. There you will see a very basic example on how to write a template and induce its conversion with some sample data.

Once you outgrow the idea of embedding your templates within the HTML sources, you should make use of jQote2’s ability to precompile templates into plain JavaScript functions which you may use just like their hand-written brethren. As soon as I can spare some time I will write down a tutorial that deals with both, basic embedded templating and a more mature approach (aka build system). So, please bear with me.

All the best,
aefxx

Saw you said they no longer need be in markup, yet all the examples in the reference seem to imply they should be?

Ta,

Hehe, nope, it’s not a typo. jQote stands for: jQuery’s oven-ready templating engine.

Aside: Am I the only one in two revisions of this code to notice the typo in the name jQote? Any particular reason for spelling it that way?

Nice library though – and the speed benchmarks are very impressive.

Do you have a exemple of template to make a table with header and value

How to make the for each or other solution

thank’s

I haven’t seen any examples of complex forms being built with this. Has anyone explored what it would take to i.e. add a row, some part of a whole template, to accommodate a new element in the form’s bound a object’s array? The template would include templating the element indexes of arrays and could be properly serialized for POSTing. But I’m having trouble thinking it all through. The goal is InfoPath-like functionality. (I’m aware of the various existing infopath features and infopath alternatives.)

Thanks for the note. I should write more tests, I suppose?
