Usage

Output Handler

Example: Mustache Output Handler
from cement import App
class MyApp(App):
class Meta:
label = 'myapp'
extensions = ['mustache']
output_handler = 'mustache'
with MyApp() as app:
app.run()
# create some data
data = {
'foo': 'bar',
}
# render the data to STDOUT (default) via a template
app.render(data, 'my_template.mustache')

Template Handler

Example: Using Mustache Template Handler
from cement import App
class MyApp(App):
class Meta:
label = 'myapp'
extensions = ['mustache']
template_handler = 'mustache'
with MyApp() as app:
app.run()
# create some data
data = {
'foo': 'bar'
}
# copy a source template directory to destination
app.template.copy('/path/to/source/',
'/path/to/destination/',
data)
# render any content as a template
app.template.render('foo -> {{ foo }}', data)

Loading Partials

Mustache supports partials, or in other words template includes. These are also loaded by the output handler, but require a full file name. The partials will be loaded in the same way as the base templates.
Example: Using Mustache Partials
templates/base.mustache
Inside base.mustache
{{> partial.mustache}}
templates/partial.mustache
Inside partial.mustache
The above would output:
Inside base.mustache
Inside partial.mustache
