[jira] Commented: (SLING-114) ECT - Ecmascript Client Templates

["Alexander Klimetschek (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Alexander Klimetschek commented on SLING-114:
---------------------------------------------

FYI: Dojo for example has a similar concept with simple string replacement. They use ${myvar} placeholders inside strings. But having the same syntax on both client and server side is probably easier - at least if you don't get confused what you currently develop ;-)

> To complete the javascript scripting features for microsling, I'd like to implement a client-side version of the ESP templates.
> A template such as
>   <p class="<%= item.color %>"><%= item.text %></p>
> Will be processed server-side to generate javascript client code such as
>   document.write("<p class=");
>   document.write(item.color);
>   document.write("\">");
>   document.write(item.text);
>   document.write("</p>\n");
> which executes on the client to render the content.
> Combined with a richer XHTML default rendering of data than what we have now, this creates interesting possibilities for ajaxish apps based on microsling/microjax (SLING-92).
