data-bind seems to be lost/broken since the last refactor

[mwawrusch]

Yeah, not so good.

Uh-oh! Thanks for the heads-up.

Hi Joshua, Mmalecki knows about it too, just talked to him over at the chat. Tests need to be adapted to the new syntax as well. It would be really great if we could talk about the data-bind-xxx syntax, that would solve so many problems. I am over at #nodejitsu as martin_sunset if you have time

Tried to refactor the tests to at least get that one working, but get an error at line 18

I don't think that tests should be adapted, I'd say that plates should be fixed

[mwawrusch]

The call signature of plates has been completely changed. Not sure if it is a better one yet, but it is different, so either the part invoking plates in the tests need to be changed or the call signature of plates and the readme.

Whatever will be done please do it fast. I am running this in beta/production and this whole slashfactory has cost me a couple of hours already today that I just don't have.

As I said here or on another issue: Split templating and parsing into 2 separate classes, that way appinsanity and I can fix bugs and add a couple of features and we will have a working and usable template library.

yo. its orders of magnitude better. this project was rushed out, now its better. and data-bind was removed on purpose.

btw, technically, you could still do data-bind if you really want, but its really just an over abstraction and doesn't need to exist for the 80/20.

  var html = '<div id="bar" data-bind="foo"></div>';
  var data = { "bar": "Hello, World" };

  var options = { "bar": "data-bind" };

  var output = Plates.bind(html, data, options);

@mwawrusch if the update broke your software, just pull from earlier commits. this is not 1.0 software, its not stable, when 1.0 rolls out, we'll be out of dev and more considerate about impact.
