Question about Context "inside" a Partial

From:: Jos Yule

Hello.

Let us say i am rendering a template which has a partial in it. Do i 
simply "copy" the partial into the body of the main template, then render 
it as normal? Or do i need some special "sub-context" specific to the 
partial? 


ie.

template: "My template with {{> someOther}}."

partials: {someOther:"another var {{myName}}"}

context: { myName:"Jos"}


output:
"My template with another var Jos"

Is the above correct? I'm thinking it is.

Thanks!
jos


ps. i think i need to re-implement Mustache in ActionScript - my 
Javascript port is causing me more issues then a total rewrite might be 
worth...

Yes, you can do it that way.

mustache.rb replaces the `{{> someOther}}` tag with a method call:

context.partial("someOther")

So the user can decide what to do, which includes pulling a partial
from the db if they want.

But if you already have the partial contents, replacing should be fine.

Ah ok, so you wrap it back into the context, which has a function call 
under the key "partial", which then does whatever the user wants... I dig.


That is good to know - that isn't how its implemented currently, but i see
the advantage of doing it that way. 

Thanks for the info! I really need to learn Ruby - then i won't have to 
ask you so many questions!
