val main = PlayProject(appName, appVersion, appDependencies, mainLang = JAVA).settings(
  resolvers += Resolver.url("julienba.github.com", url("http://julienba.github.com/repo/"))(Resolver.ivyStylePatterns),

  // Mustache settings
  mustacheEntryPoints <<= (sourceDirectory in Compile)(base => base / "assets" / "mustache" ** "*.html"),

  mustacheOptions := Seq.empty[String],
  resourceGenerators in Compile <+= MustacheFileCompiler  
)

• add mustache.js in your project asset

• add org.jba.Mustache in default template import or import it in your view files

val main = PlayProject(appName, appVersion, appDependencies, mainLang = SCALA).settings(
  //Import Mustache in all template

)

How to use

Put your mustache templates in directory app/assets/mustache/

In scala templating

@Mustache.render("YOUR_MUSTACHE_TEMPLATE", content)

<!-- File generate with all your templates in MUSTACHE_TEMPLATES array -->
<script src="@routes.Assets.at("javascripts/mustache-tmpl.js")" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

<!-- your version of mustache.js  not bundle in this project -->
<script src="@routes.Assets.at("javascripts/mustache-0.7.0.min.js")" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

// In javascript 
Mustache.render(MUSTACHE_TEMPLATES['YOUR_MUSTACHE_TEMPLATE'], content);
