How would I render a nested array

[ultraflynn]

Consider the following JSON:

{ "locations" : [ "All",
      "Europe",
      "Asia",
      "America",
      "India"
    ]}

I'm using this JS:

Tempo.prepare("locations").render(data.locations);

I need to render this JSON on a page. What should I use as a placeholder for the name of the location?

e.g.

<ul id="locations" class="menu">
    <li data-template>
        {{?????}}
    </li>
</ul>

Did you ever figure this out? This is driving me nuts. It comes down to how to render the object when it's a string or other simple type, where you want to render the object itself and not a property of it, so none of the examples in the docs seem to apply.

I've seen other templating engines that support something like {{this}}, but I don't know if Tempo has an equivalent.

I'm so sorry for not replying guys - I do not understand this, I've set Github to notify me of new issues but for some reason I never get these. You're right, you've spotted a gap in this. I will look into a solution now and update ASAP.

+1, thanks for the great work!

Hey guys, thanks for your patience! I've just patched 1.8 to support referring to the object being iterated (whether an array element or not). You can use {{.}} to get a reference to it. See example: http://jsfiddle.net/wcNm4/

Cool, thanks for the quick turn-around!! FYI, I posted the question on SO the same day, if you want to paste your answer there I'll gladly accept it:

(Was gonna answer it myself but you deserve the rep points if you want them)
