using mustache in couchapp

["john.tiger" <jo...@gmail.com>]

assuming my app.js and mustache.js are in the same attachments folder - 
when I've used:
var Mustache = require('mustache');
=> require not found

do I have to include require.js as well ?

If you want to use JavaScript on the server side, you'll need to store it as a *property* on your design doc. So in a "lib" folder (outside of _attachments) with the 'couchapp' it will get included like:


couchapp folder
  _id file
  |_ _attachments folder
      |_ ...clientside media...
  |_ lib folder
      |_ mustache.js

<---->

{_id:"<file contents>", _attachments: {...}, lib:{mustache:"<file contents>"}}

Then you would use it in a _show/_list/_update function with `var Mustache = require('lib/mustache')`. When I do need a library both server and clientside with 'couchapp', I tend to symlink it so it appears in both _attachments and other properties.


hope this helps,
