Dynamically render partial templates using mustache
- by btakita
Is there a way to dynamically inject partial templates (and have it work the same way in both Ruby & Javascript)? Basically, I'm trying to render different types of objects in a list.
The best I can come up with is this:
<div class="items">
{{#items}}
<div class="item">
{{#is_message}}
{{< message}}
{{/is_message}}
{{^is_message}}
{{#is_picture}}
{{< picture}}
{{/is_picture}}
{{^is_picture}}
{{/is_picture}}
{{/is_message}}
</div>
{{/items}}
</div>
For obvious reasons, I'm not super-psyched about this approach.
Is there a better way?
Also note that the different types of models for the views can have non-similar fields. I suppose I could always go to the lowest common denominator and have the data hash contain the html, however I would rather use the mustache templates.
