Works in IE, Firefox and Webkit browsers.
Most templating languages suck

Ok, if your like me then you hate all templating langauges- they suck, they really suck. I hate them because I hate the rules they enforce upon me, they are slow, and they slow me down. Because of this, usually I end up making code that looks like this:

UGLY:

function display(data) {
var output = "<div>" + data.text + "</div>";
element.innerHTML=output;

}

How horrible is that? That's probably worse than using a bad templating langauge.

Well, after disappointments with other jQuery templating plugins, I decided to make my own:

The Solution: PureJSTemplate

With PureJSTemplate you use old fashioned javascript in your template. You simply surround the javascript in special tags. Here's an example of what you can do:


<#for(var i=0; i<10; i++) { #>
<#=i#>
<#}#>
That will output the numbers 0 through 9. Easy, isn't it?

Using it:

You simply surround your template code with a textarea tag:

and call it from javascript like so:

$("#output").pureJSTemplate(
{
id:"tpl",
data:{}
});

That's it.
