nest multiple templates inside one template

[tinybyte]

Say I have three templates:

<script id="entry" type="text/jsrender"></script>
<script id="head" type="text/jsrender"></script>
<script id="tail" type="text/jsrender"></script>

The layout is like

<entry>
<head/>
<tail/>
</entry>

I have arrays of entries, I have no way to embed head and tail template inside entry template, so that, jsrender will treat entry as a single template, and will works for [entries].

the {{for /}} can only bind a collection to one template. If the template is formed up with small templates, is there a way to compose all the small templates into a single template?

[tinybyte]

I think there seems to have a way around, using {{for /}} even for a single loop. that way just import the template in to the other template, I don't know if it's the right way to do this, but I'll close the issue, since I've managed to get my problem solved.

You can write:

{{for people}}...{{/for}}, or {{for people tmpl=.../}} to include an inline block or external template, iterated over an array, so the current item is the member of the array;

or {{for address}}...{{/for}}, or {{for address tmpl=.../}} to include an inline block or external template rendered once, but with current data item being the object;

or {{for tmpl=.../}} to include an external template with current data item undefined,

or {{for #data tmpl=.../}} to include an external template with current data item the same as the containing template context.

You can also write {{for [people] tmpl=.../}} to include an external template, rendered just once (rather than iterating) for an array, which is used in the following example: scenarios/05_arrays-plus-headers-and-footers

The above comment gives some alternatives for template composition. Does that cover your requirements?

BTW to include markup in a comment on GitHub, you can wrap with 'backtick' characters, as in <script ...> or with triple backtick characters as in

<script>
