GTPL - Grin Template Language

A highlevel javascript template engine.

It has never been so easy to write templates.

Basics

JSON

var json = {
 "first_name":"John",
 "last_name":"Smith",
 "age":10,
 "friends":["Jamie","Ryan","Gordon"]
};

Template

{namespace Example}

{template .Hello}
   <h3>Hello {_.first_name} {_.last_name}</h3>
 
   {if _.age < 12}
       <p>Grow up!</p>
   {/if}

   {foreach friend in _.friends}
       <span>{friend}</span>
   {/foreach}
{/template}

Javascript

var template_manager = gtpl.create_template_manager();
 
template_manager.add(template_source);
 
template_manager.Example.Hello(json);
