Any intention to add an 'include' tag to enable nested templates?

stringfellow commented 12 years ago

I've got a couple of cases where I have a template that I reuse within other templates and at the moment its a copy-paste job. Am I missing something? Is this a reasonable feature request?

sircambridge commented 12 years ago

will this work for you ?

<%- eco.render(fs.readFileSync('someTemplate.eco'), @ ) %>

stringfellow commented 12 years ago

Hmm, possibly. I'm using eco in spinejs and I don't think I have implicit access to the eco module within the template... But am probably missing something.

sircambridge commented 12 years ago

You might be able to global.eco = require('eco') ?

Or pass the Eco reference into the context object, @eco = require('eco')

I am compiling eco template using eco command-line and wondering the same thing -- how to nest templates?

lagartoflojo commented 12 years ago

In my case, I'm sending the templates directly to the clients, and they all get stored in the "JST" variable (this is done automatically by Rails).

To nest a template then, I use:

<%- JST['template_name'](myVar: 1) %>

@sircambridge I try this: pass to the outer template the eco, fs, and templateDir object, in the template I do this:

<%- @eco.render( @fs.readFileSync(@templateDir + '/Makefile_partial.eco'), @) %>

But I get an error, whatever the partial contains some string, nochting (empty) or a variable print:
