$ mrt add view-manager

Usage

The View manager helps to set views at specific locations in your app.

Place a template helper for myViewKey somewhere in your app:

{{> DynamicTemplate placeholder="myViewKey" context=someData}}

To render a template in that place call

View.set('myViewKey', 'myTemplate');

Additional you can set the data context dynamically This context will then be merged with the context passed in template (dynamic content overwrites template set context)

View.set('myViewKey', {
    tenplate: 'myTemplate',
    context: {
        some: 'data'
    }
});

To unrender the template call

View.set('myViewKey', false);

This library also provides {{> StaticTemplate}}

{{> StaticTemplate template="myTemplateNameString" context=someData}}

Additional methods are:

- setDefault(key, value)    = Sets a value without causing a reactivity
- equals(key, value)        = Checks, whether the key has the given value, returns a boolean
- getTemplate(name, context)   = Returns a template, useful inside template helpers, `name` can also be an object of {template: 'templateName', context: {...}}
- getTemplateName(template) = Returns the given template name. also when passed an object like {template: 'templateName', context: {...}}. Mostly used internally
- isTemplate(template)      = Returns a boolean, whether a template with that name exists or not.
- {{StaticTemplate}}        = Helper, which works like {{> ...}} but also accepts strings as template names e.g. {{StaticTemplate "/ordered/template"}}
