Using Mustache Templating

[dgdosen]

Is it possible to use mustache for templating in a backbone-rails solution? If so, is there any guidance on how to do that?

if you require mustache.js in your JS files, then you can just do this in your view's render function:

render: function() {
  this.html(
    Mustache.to_html("template code as a string {some_attr_on_your_model}", this.model.toJSON())
  )
}

the harder part is writing separate JST mustache templates like backbone is already setup for with EJS. investigate https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-ejs/ to see how you could do the same for mustache
