ejs-rcompiler

A simple ruby compiler that compiles an ejs file to js. Here is an example usage:

In file named or.ui.Cities.ejs

<ul>

<%# Loop through each city %>
<% $.each(cities, function() { %>
<li><%= this.name %></li>
<% }) %>

</ul>

Compile the file like so

compiler = Ejs::Compiler.new compiler.compile(ejs_file)

This will create a .js file with a JavaScript class name that matches the file name.

You can then require the output js file as such.

<script src=“/javascripts/or.ui.Cities.js”></script> <script>

document.body.innerHTML = or.ui.Cities.render({
  cities: [{ name: "Paris" }, { name: "Mountain View" }, { name: "Las Vegas" }]
});

</script>

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
