Daub 
A templating engine with Mustache-like syntax based on Whiskers.
Installation
Using component:
$ component install daub/daub
Using npm for server-side use or for browserify:
$ npm install daub
Example
Templates are rendered as follows, where "template" is a string and "context" is an object:
var daub = ; var template = 'Hello, {place}!' context = place: 'Region' ; daub; // Hello, Region!A template might look something like this:
{if tags} {for tag in tags} {tag} {/for} {else} No tags! {/if} {content} {!this paragraph is commented out!}With the following context:
title: 'My life' author: 'Bars Thorman' tags: 'real' 'vivid' content: 'I grew up into a fine willow.'It would be rendered as this:
real vivid I grew up into a fine willow.Partials
Daub's partials are being loaded compile-time, like includes in EJS, so are not available for front-end usage.
You can specify partials using local files, using relative path to target template in statement. If specified path is a directory, it'll resolve corresponding index.html if exists.
{>./common/header.html}Or you can use npm or component packages, in which case template.html file or the one specified in manifest as template will be loaded.
{>component/tip}NOTE: By default npm is used to resolve packages. If you want to use component, set { component: true } in options argument.
Test
Run unit tests:
$ make test
Best practices
Use Whiskers.js instead, it's ~3x faster (could get even faster because of internal caching).
