• Nustache.Compliation:

Hello, as you may have noticed this repository has been silent for awhile. I worked on it awhile ago when I had a problem but didn't contribute any more.

I'm planning to commit some time to looking at outstanding pull-requests and issues and try get the project moving again. With that in mind feel free to open issues and contribute pull requests.

I haven't used Nustache in a while and don't have enough bandwidth to responsibly maintain it. If you depend on Nustache and want committ access, please contact me!

For a list of implementations (other than .NET) and editor plugins, see http://mustache.github.com/.

• Pull from GitHub or download the repository and build it.
• Or, install via NuGet (search for Nustache).
• If you're using MVC, you'll want to build/install the Nustache.Mvc3 project, too.

• Add a reference to Nustache.Core.dll (done for you if you used NuGet).
• Import the Nustache.Core namespace.
• Use one of the static, helper methods on the Render class.

var html = Render.FileToString("foo.template", myData);

• Data can be object, IDictionary, or DataTable.
• If you need more control, use Render.Template.
• See the source and tests for more information.
• For compiled templates:

var template = new Template();
template.Load(new StringReader(templateText));
var compiled = template.Compile<Foo>(null);

var html = compiled(fooInstance);

• Add a reference to Nustache.Mvc3.dll (done for you if you used NuGet).
• Add NustacheViewEngine to the global list of view engines.
• See Global.asax.cs in the Nustache.Mvc3.Example project for an example.

• Command-line wrapper around Render.FileToFile.

• Parameters are templatePath, dataPath, and outputPath.

• Reads JSON or XML from dataPath for data.

  • If extension is .js or .json, assumes JSON. Must wrap with { }.

  • If extension is .xml, assumes XML. Initial context is the document element.

    nustache.exe foo.template myData.json foo.html
    

• External templates are assumed to be in the same folder as the template mentioned in templatePath.

• Extension is also assumed to be the same as the template in templatePath.

• The same as Mustache with some extensions.
• Support for defining internal templates:

{{<foo}}This is the foo template.{{/foo}}
The above doesn't get rendered until it's included
like this:
{{>foo}}

You can define templates inside sections. They override templates defined in outer sections which override external templates.

• Build with VS2012 or MSBuild.
• To run the tests that use Mustache specs, run this command from your Nustache clone:

git submodule update --init
