I like to announce my smalltalk port of mustache templates.

Mustache is a popular templating engine that is supported in many programming languages. I know at least that is quite common to be used in javascript but see at the languages it supported yourself [1].

A basic usage is something like (just paste it to workspace after loading Mustache):

---

templateString := 'Hello {{name}},

this is {{templatingEngine}} for {{recipient}}.

Have fun!

{{/ cheerUp }}'.

context := {

'name' -> 'pharo community'.

'templatingEngine' -> 'mustache'.

'recipient' -> 'you'.

'cheerUp' -> true } asDictionary.

templateString asMustacheTemplate value: context

---

Context objects can be Dictionaries or regular objects. It is also easy to feed via json e.g. using NeoJSON

templateString asMustacheTemplate value: (NeoJSONReader fromString: �)

I wrote a blog article about it and the usage in smaltlalk on my blog [2]. The code I have just released on smalltalkhub [3]. Documentation about the syntax to use is available under [4]. To load it do

Gofer it

smalltalkhubUser: 'NorbertHartl' project: 'Mustache';

configurationOf: 'Mustache';

loadStable.

The code is not very old so there might be bugs (this is supposed to be the standard disclaimer). If you find something not working as expected just drop me a note. The engine produces at the moment more whitespaces than you can see in the examples. I need to figure out the rule first and will release a new version. Nevertheless I consider it useful by now. But you decide and hopefully give me feedback.
