dust.js

I have consulted the Dust.js GitHub page and it says that I can pass partials to templates as shown below: {@partial checkbox_title="JM"} {>toggle/} {/partial} and like this: {>toggle checkbox_title="Hi JM"/} I've tried both and neither of them worked, so I used the following: Parent: {< checkbox_title} Hi JM {/checkbox_title} {>toggle/} Child: {+checkbox_title/} The above works, except when I try to render a template using the following: dust.render("toggle", base.push({checkbox_title:"hhhhhh"}), function(err, html) { console.log(html); }); Aim: to override the block in the child template

Background All the JS template engines recommend putting your template text inside script blocks like so: <script id="peopleTemplate" type="text/template"> {#people} <div class="person">Name: {firstName} {lastName}</div> {/people} </script> but many developers (understandably) dislike this because they lose HTML syntax highlighting in their code editor inside the script block. I've seen the workarounds like this: Keep correct HTML syntax highlighting in <script> "text/html" templates . This question is not asking about workarounds. I know one danger is that web browsers will attempt to fix

I am using "dustjs-helpers": "1.6.0" , with "dustjs-linkedin": "^2.6.0" . In my template I need to check an OR condition like if( cherry === true || berry === true) path/to/template1/ else path/to/template2/ How do I accomplish this with the Dust helpers? Because you're testing two different variables, you'll need two different truth tests. You can either put this logic into your template, or into a small helper. I'll show you both ways. Let's assume that your context looks like this: { "cherry": false, "berry": true } Template method This method requires dustjs-helpers >= 1.6.2 You'll have to

I'm having trouble with a dust if condition. I have a partial that points to 2 different dust templates depending on the Country code {>"receipt/merchantInfo/merchantInfo_{countryCode}"/} I'm trying to make an if else condition that will figure out if the {countryCode} is US. Example: {@if cond="'{countryCode}' == 'US'"} <p>is country code US</p> {:else} <p>is NOT country code US</p> {/if} This isn't working. Anyone have an idea where I went wrong with this? The @if helper has been deprecated because of a potential security hole (it uses eval on the condition). I would recommend using the @eq

With dust.js , is it possible to output the JSON key ? i.e. How do I output the key "name" and "profile" without hard-coding them in my template? { name: "Foo", profile: { name: "Bar" } } Final text, JSON key name and profiles not barcoded. name Foo profile - name - Bar asyraf9 sure you can. define a section like so: {@keyvalue:cont} {key} - {value} {/keyvalue} then redefine the JSON context like so: cont:{ name: "Foo", profile: "Bar" //I'm simplifying this a bit for the sake of this example } this is so that the context for the keyvalue section above gets constrained to only 'cont'. then you

I'm using dust templates and one aspect of the design has been bugging me. This makes me wonder if I'm "doing it wrong" so I thought I would ask S.O. Is there a way to create multiple-level inheritance in dust.js with blocks and inline partials? Lets say you have a base template with layout, an inheriting template that overrides some content, and then yet another template inheriting from that template that wishes to selectively override some content. Normally I would imagine it works by the last inheriting template providing the final overriding values. The inline partial syntax, however,
