li3\_mustache
=============

[](#li3_mustache)

Lithium library for parsing mustache views, uses [PHP Mustache](https://github.com/bobthecow/mustache.php).

Mustache Spec version: `1.1.2`PHP Mustache version: `1.0.0`

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add a submodule to your li3 libraries:

```
git submodule add git@github.com:bruensicke/li3_mustache.git libraries/li3_mustache

```

and activate it in you app (config/bootstrap/libraries.php), of course:

```
Libraries::add('li3_mustache');

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Within your views, you can easily use mustache elements with a helpful mustache helper:

```

```

The mustache template will then be pulled from `{:library}/views/mustache/posts/detail.html.php`

Any model, that is passed in (or a collection of models) will be converted to array-data at the moment, to allow for easy usage. I will work on a model-callback solution, which allows for template functions to be called.

If you want to provide the mustache template for js-usage, this can be easily done like that:

```

```

This will render the following javascript block (including the template):

```
 { mustache template here }

```

You can easily use this template with `tpl_` followed by `Inflector::slugified` template name (where - will become \_).

additional usage
----------------

[](#additional-usage)

Instead of using only mustache for the view in general, i prefer to use mustache templates for all kind of data representation within the view, whereas i leave the view itself as default html/php mix. But this library comes with a mustache View class as well, to use mustache views completely.

Todos
-----

[](#todos)

The following points is my roadmap. If you need any of this features sooner than later, please let me know.

- \[✓\] Provide useful helper
- \[✓\] allow for easy using of an element as mustache template
- \[✓\] mustache template folder to be at views/mustache
- \[✓\] allow for mustache templates to live within libraries
- \[✓\] allow subtemplates to be rendered, no registration required
- provide additional scope that carries li3-relevant information (i.e. request, session, etc)
- allow callbacks to model methods on collection data
