Template engine supporting formatters

Question

Are there a javascript template engine which supports formatters?

That is, I can tell the template engine that it should be using a custom formatter (with a clean syntax).

Something like (borrowing jsrender syntax):

<td>{{:DateOfBirth, 'PrettyDate'}}</td>

Where 'PrettyDate' is mapped to a function which formats the date in a certain way.

Answer 1

Mustache supports lambda's, you can get the same effect.

Answer 2

jinjs, the JavaScript version of Jinja2 supports filters which do pretty much what you want. In your case the syntax would be {{ DAteOfBirth | PrettyDate }}

Answer 3

Check out Underscore.js, it supports formatters, see: How to use underscore.js as a template engine?

Answer 4

Distal templates supports formatters, see http://code.google.com/p/distal/wiki/Syntax#Formatting_data_into_numerical_form

It looks like:

<input data-qattr="value total_cost ,.">

where the ",." implies numbers with thousands separator (1,000,000.00)
