Re: Right place for mustache.js

[Nathan Vander Wilt <na...@calftrail.com>]

Hello Aliaksandr, and sorry this did not get an answer earlier. Assuming you figured it out by now, but for the archives the documentation on this is currently here: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/CommonJS_Modules

In short, there's not a great "standard" way to do either. Both couchapp and kanso.js let you easily include this code in both places, though...with couchapp I just symlink any shared attachments into a lib dir.

If you really hate to duplicate, you could expand the "real code" equivalent of `<script>{{{this.lib.mustache}}}</script>` inline into your generated HTML. Accessing the design doc itself via `this` in a _show/_list (or any other) function is a simple way to load templates without needing to statically include them (e.g. `this.templates['name']`), or if you're using a pre-compiling template engine of course the templates can be require()'d just as other code.

hope this helps,

What is the best place for it to avoid duplication? As i understand client can access to '_attachments' while lists/shows cannot.
