### Installation
|
|
```sh
|
|
bower install jquery.template
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What makes jquery.template different?
|
|
`jquery.template` takes a different approach to inserting values into templates, lessening the risk of XSS exploits.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
Just pass a CSS selector for the template, and then an object with values. (Templates are cached after first use)
|
|
```js
|
|
var $el = $.template('#player', {
|
|
team: 'green',
|
|
image: 'images/green.jpg',
|
|
name: 'Gillian Green'
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Instead of the usualy delimiters and keynames, we'll approach these templates differently. We'll be using CSS classes as directives. Let's start with this example.
|
|
```
|
|
<script type="text/template" id="player">
|
|
<div class="class-team">
|
|
<img class="src-image">
|
|
<p class="text-name"></p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We see a `<div>` with the class `class-team`. What is happening here? Well, `class-` is a directive. We add `team` after, to signify a connection with the `team` value we passed earlier. This directive will add a new class to the `<div>`, named `green`. If you're following this so far, great. The rest should be easy.
|
|
|
|
We can also see the `<img>` & `<p>` tags, both with their own directives. As you might guess, `src-` is a directive allowing for updates to the `src` attribute. That leaves `text-`, which is a directive for updating the inner text of an element. Note: this is done in such a way where HTML inside of values is not parsed, since that leads to the classic security issues.
|
|
|
|
After all this, what do we get? A jQuery wrapped HTML element, ready to be given a new home. Let's be quaint, and append it to the `<body>`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
$('body').append($el);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What directives are supported?
|
|
So far:
|
|
- class- (adds a class)
|
|
- href- (updates href attribute)
|
|
- src- (updates src attribute)
|
|
- target- (updates target attribute)
|
|
- text- (updates inner text)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Why not more directives?
