Docs, live playground and samples

http://olado.github.com/doT (todo: update docs with new features added in version 1.0.0)

New in version 1.0.0

####Added parameters support in partials

{{##def.macro:param:
	<div>{{=param.foo}}</div>
#}}

{{#def.macro:myvariable}}

####Node module now supports auto-compilation of dot templates from specified path

var dots = require("dot").process({ path: "./views"});

This will compile .def, .dot, .jst files found under the specified path. Details

• It ignores sub-directories.
• Template files can have multiple extensions at the same time.
• Files with .def extension can be included in other files via {{#def.name}}
• Files with .dot extension are compiled into functions with the same name and can be accessed as renderer.filename
• Files with .jst extension are compiled into .js files. Produced .js file can be loaded as a commonJS, AMD module, or just installed into a global variable (default is set to window.render)
• All inline defines defined in the .jst file are compiled into separate functions and are available via _render.filename.definename

Basic usage:

       var dots = require("dot").process({path: "./views"});
       dots.mytemplate({foo:"hello world"});

The above snippet will: * Compile all templates in views folder (.dot, .def, .jst) * Place .js files compiled from .jst templates into the same folder These files can be used with require, i.e. require("./views/mytemplate") * Return an object with functions compiled from .dot templates as its properties * Render mytemplate template

Example for express

Many people are using doT with express. I added an example of the best way of doing it examples/express:

doT with express

Notes

doU.js is here only so that legacy external tests do not break. Use doT.js.
doT.js with doT.templateSettings.append=false provides the same performance as doU.js.
