t.js is a simple solution to interpolating values in an html string for insertion into the DOM via innerHTML.

t.coffee ports that simplicity to coffeescript, adding scoped iteration for concise, readable templates.

t.js

• Simple interpolation: {{=value}}
• Scrubbed interpolation: {{%unsafe_value}}
• Name-spaced variables: {{=User.address.city}}
• If/else blocks: {{value}} <<markup>> {{:value}} <<alternate markup>> {{/value}}
• If not blocks: {{!value}} <<markup>> {{/value}}
• Simple object/array iteration: {{@obj}}{{=_key}}:{{=_val}}{{/object}}'
• Multi-line templates (no removal of newlines required to render)
• Render the same template multiple times with different data
• Works in all modern browsers

t.coffee

• Scoped object/array iteration: {{>obj}}{{=name}}, {{=age}}, {{=city}} {{/obj}}
• Space-agnostic parsing {{=var}} or {{= var }}

Compile to JS as you normally would. You can also use the included Cakefile:

$ cake compile (-s/--source [SOURCEDIR]) (-o/--output [OUTPUTDIR])

Then use just like t.js:

var template = new t("<div>Hello {{=name}}</div>");
document.body.innerHTML = template.render({name: "World!"});

For more advanced usage check the t_test.html.
