(tl;dr DOM builders like [domo][domo] trump HTML templates on the client.)

Like all web developers, I've used a lot of template engines. Like most, I've also written a few of them, some of which even [fit in a tweet][140].

The first open-source code I ever wrote was also one of the the first template engines for node.js, [a port][node-tmpl] of the mother of all JavaScript template engines, [John Resig][jresig]'s [micro-templates][tmpl]. Of course, these days you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a template engine; one in eight packages on npm ([2,220][npm templates] of 16,226 as of 10/19) involve templates.

John's implementation has since evolved and [lives on in Underscore.js][underscore], which means it's the default choice for templating in Backbone.js. And for a while, it's all I would ever use when building a client-side app.

But I can't really see the value in client-side HTML templates anymore.

This is an auth example (WIP)

react + redux + RR

It uses https://gist.github.com/iNikNik/3c1b870f63dc0de67c38 for stores and actions.

1) create redux

const redux = createRedux(state);

2) get requireAccess func => bindCheckAuth to redux

	// Orthodox Chaining
	//

	//basic Object that implements chaining
	var myObj = {
	_val : 'lorem',
	val : function(val){
	if(val === void(0)){
	return this._val;

	express = require("express")
	request = require("request")
	BufferList = require("bufferlist").BufferList
	app = express.createServer(express.logger(), express.bodyParser())
	app.get "/", (req, res) ->
	if req.param("url")
	url = unescape(req.param("url"))
	request
	uri: url
	encoding: 'binary'

	var el = ( function () {

	var doc = document;

	var directProperties = {
	'class': 'className',
	className: 'className',
	defaultValue: 'defaultValue',
	'for': 'htmlFor',
	html: 'innerHTML',

	$module-placeholders-defined: false !default;
	@mixin module-placeholders {
	@if not $module-placeholders-defined {
	$module-placeholders-defined: true;
	%module-object { color: red; }
	%module-object:hover { color: blue; }
	}
	}

	@include module-placeholders;

	// === Arrays

	var [a, b] = [1, 2];
	console.log(a, b);
	//=> 1 2


	// Use from functions, only select from pattern
	var foo = () => [1, 2, 3];
