Helper Ideas

Require Helper

This helper will allow you to grab from cache sets of data. This helps decouple the need to do everything inside a view and allows data to be injected into the context while inside of the template. Eg.

{{require 'models/search'}} {{!-- outputs nothing --}}

{{#with search}}
	<div class="search-container">
		<input type="search" data-lat={{lat}} data-lng={{lng}} />
		{{#each location}} ... {{/each}}
	</div>
{{/with}}

As you can see in the example we required in a model of search ( from cache ) and it exported out a variable search into the scope of the template.

It might also be cool to explore using this type of behavior ( if it works ) to create components using something like this. I dont know how exactly this would work right now but it sounds pretty cool.

{{require 'models/video-1337'}} {{!-- check instance to see if model apply to template --}}
{{require 'views/Video' exports="Video"}} {{!-- data in template applied to new view --}}

{{Video}} {{!-- video component with model video-1337 --}}

Not as configurable ad I would like but might be a cool experiment.

This is helper example.

{{#Video className="hello" videoId="1337"}}
  <h1>Video Title</h1>
{{/Video}}
