Layout template

[StrouMfios]

I downloaded the latest version of jsRender and I have some issues regarding the layout template.

I used to use

{{for ListData tmpl="#LayoutTmpl" ~variable=value Layout=true /}}
but after a quick view in latest version of jsRender code I saw that in the the "Layout" variable renamed to "isLayout".

I tried this

{{for ListData tmpl="#LayoutTmpl" ~variable=value isLayout=true /}}

< script id="LayoutTmpl" type="tex t/x-jsrender" >
{{:#parent.parent.data.propertyName}}
{{if #data.length > 0}}
{{for #data}}
{{:propertyName}}
{{/for}}
{{else}}
do something
{{/if}}
</ script>

but with no luck. The nested layout template is rendered as a normal template and since the data object isn't recognized as a type of list, I am getting the "do something" so many times as the length of the list.

The same code works with a previous version (// informal pre beta commit counter: 6)

How can I fix this for the latest version?

Thanks in advance

The design was changed in a recent commit:
fc7a28b

There is a new sample here: See http://borismoore.github.com/jsrender/demos/scenarios/05_arrays-plus-headers-and-footers.html

Rather than setting layout=true, or isLayout=true, you simply need to pass your data array wrapped as an array, {{for [myArray]...}} so JsRender will treat the myArray as a single object. This is a similar to how you bind to arrays in jQuery: $([myArray]).bind(...).

This change follows feedback (see issue 118 for example) around the layout template feature.

Please reopen if this new approach does not enable your scenario... thanks.
