mustache: 'with' string is interpreted as with helper keyword

[wclr]

can.view.mustache('{{text}}').render({text:'with'})

cases an error in mustache.js

Look at the console:

EDIT: Upon further investigation and testing with Handlebars, this is about par for the course. For example if you go to http://tryhandlebarsjs.com/ and try the following data:

{ "each" : "bar" }

with the following template:

<h1>{{each}}</h1>

it'll balk at you with the same type of error:

// TypeError: Cannot read property 'fn' of undefined

The real question is: For this type of situation do we maintain the status quo, or do we do something? If we do something, what is it that we do?

[daffl]

I don't think this is the same issue. In our case {{text}} is evaluated and then the value tried to run as a helper. Or is text also a helper?

[wclr]

Well "each" is a keyword should probably not be used as data attribute name.

In my case I don't use keyword as data attribute name. {{text}} is not a helper. Error appears only if {text: 'with'}. Strange bug.

[imjoshdean]

True, but in our case with is also a keyword.

[daffl]

A string value in your view data should never be interpreted as a keyword for anything.
