jQuery Template

This is basic jQuery wrap/implementation of underscores templating

Compiles JavaScript templates into functions that can be evaluated for rendering. Useful for rendering complicated bits of HTML from JSON data sources.

Template functions can both interpolate values, using <%= ... %>, as well as execute arbitrary JavaScript code, with <% ... %>. If you wish to interpolate a value, and have it be HTML-escaped, use <%- ... %>. When you evaluate a template function, pass in a data object that has properties corresponding to the template's free variables. The settings argument should be a hash containing any $.template.defaults that should be overridden.

Can be called on an element to use the elements contents as the template source.

<script type="text/html" id="tmp">hello: <%= name %></script>

$('#tmp').template('render', {name: 'moe'}); => hello: moe

A template can be rendered to an element directly, using the 3rd and 4th parameter, using the 3rd as destination, and 4th as method; 'html', 'append', 'prepend', etc. $('#tmp').template('render', {name: 'moe'}, $('#destination')); => hello: moe $('#tmp').template('render', {name: 'moe'}, $('#destination'), 'html'); => hello: moe

If called on a collection of 1 item, the result of a method will be returned.

The compiled template source can be accessed using the source method: $('#tmp').template('source')
