ist.js v0.5.5 released - new documentation online
06 December 2012 permalinkI've been rewriting the documentation for a while and it is finally online. I think it is a lot clearer now, but do not hesitate to contact me if you have any remark or question.
Additionnaly, ist.js version 0.5.5 has just been released. Several bugs have
been fixed (see the changelog for more details), rendering performance has
been improved a bit and two new features are available. First, a new built-in
@eachkey
directive is available to enumerate objects. Here is an example of
how to use it; more information is available in the documentation.
dl
@eachkey myObject
dt "{{ key }}"
dd "{{ value }}"
The other new feature enables setting event handlers directly in templates. The
syntax is close to attribute/property qualifiers; the main difference is that
the value after the equal sign must be a valid ist.js expression (without curly
braces), which should of course return a function. Say you have an array named
menu
in your rendering context object, where each item has a label
property
and an associated handler function named handler
, you could use a template
like this one:
ul#menu
@each menu
li[!click=handler] "{{ label }}"
I'm not entirely satisfied with this syntax; I could as well have used a new built-in directive but I still find the square brackets less clumsy. Naturally I'm open to feedback on this point.
