HoganAssets

HoganAssets compiles your mustache templates with hogan.js on sprockets and the Rails asset pipeline.

hogan.js is a templating engine developed at Twitter that follows the mustache spec and compiles the templates to JavaScript. The first bit is cool, since mustache is cool. The second bit is awesome and full of win because we can now compile our mustache templates on the server using the asset pipeline/sprockets.

This gem contains hogan.js v1.0.5

Installation

Installation with Rails 3.1+

Add this to your Gemfile as part of the assets group

group :assets do
  gem 'hogan_assets'
end

And then execute:

$ bundle

Require hogan.js somewhere in your JavaScript manifest, for example in application.js if you are using Rails 3.1+:

//= require hogan.js

Locate your .mustache templates with your other JavaScript assets, usually in app/assets/templates or app/assets/javascripts/templates. Require your templates with require_tree:

//= require_tree templates

Templates are named for the sub-path below require_tree. For example, the file app/assets/javascripts/templates/pages/person.mustache will be named pages/person.

Installation with sprockets

Add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'hogan_assets'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Require hogan.js somewhere in your JavaScript.

TODO Templates?

Usage

Templates are compiled to a global JavaScript object named HoganTemplates. To render pages/person:

HoganTemplates['pages/person'].render(context, partials);
