Is it possible to run eco in the browser? #2

It seems like the code in lib is designed to run within node.js on the server side.

Yes, compiled Eco templates will run in the browser — no problem. They're just plain JavaScript functions.

The Eco compiler itself runs in the browser in the latest HEAD. You can see it in action here: http://sstephenson.github.com/eco/ (You need to load the CoffeeScript compiler, too, which is quite hefty. The current version is 230 KB.)

To build the browser version of Eco, run cake dist. You'll need the closure-compiler module from npm. The generated file will be saved in dist/eco.js.

I'll leave this open for a bit in case you have any other questions. This will all be documented in the next release.

Closing the ticket. Feel free to reopen if you need more clarification.

Did this ever get documented anywhere?
