yet another vanilla and tiny mustache like template engine.
sample usages:
//basic usage
rfq("hello {{user.name|capital}}", {user:{name:"niko"}}); //-> "hello Niko"
rfq("hello {{name|or:buddy|capital}}", {}); //-> "hello Buddy"
rfq("{{txt|mark:42}}",{txt:"the answer is 42"}); //-> "the answer is <mark>42</mark>"
//templating
var data = {authors:[{name:"asimov"},{name:"dick"},{name:"herbert"}]};
rfq.template({
'author-line': '<li>{{name}}</li>',
'authors-list': '<h2>{{authors.length|plural:no author:one author:{} authors}}</h2>'+
'<ul>{{authors|tpl:author-line}}</ul>'
})('authors-list',data);
// -> "<h2>3 authors</h2><ul><li>asimov</li><li>dick</li><li>herbert</li></ul>"template is a string to parse or a registred template name.
vars is an object with keys/values used in the template.
variables in the templates are basically represented {{varname}}, but you can also apply filter(s) to them with the syntax {{varname|filter1|filter2|etc}}.
it returns the resulting string
templates is an object like {'template-name':'template {{value}}'}
it returns rfq
| filters | purposes |
|---|---|
| floor | convert to number rounded lower |
| round | convert to number rounded upper |
| capital | uppercase first letter of each words |
| lowercase | lowercase the whole string |
| uppercase | send a nuclear duck into space |
| subs:from:to | extract a substring begging at from and ending at to |
| replace:what:by | replace what by by |
| trim | remove beginning and ending spaces |
| join:separator | join values using separator |

| or:default | apply default if false |
| if:then:else | apply then if true else else |
| tpl:tplname | apply a registred template |
you can add your own filter like that :
rfq.filters['concat'] = function(s,arg){ return s+arg; };
rfq("{{txt|concat: isn't it?}}",{txt:"nice"}); -> "nice isn't it?"
