walrus v0.10.1

Walrus

Goal

• Write a mustache templating language that fits more with the idea of view-objects as opposed to view-helpers
• Support method helpers fully. This means: - (Semi)-Automatic invocation. - "Write what you mean" when it comes to functions. - Multiple arguments - Arguments may be primitive types - Ability to add in custom domain methods at the view object level (how do we do this?) - Still support helper methods and block helpers, but put the helper methods where they make the most sense
• Support object paths like handlebars does

• Make it easy to traverse back up to root, and to read as such

• More to come...

Ideas

• @ means this, like in coffeescript. This makes it easy to reference the root object context from anywhere.
• do/end style blocks make more sense than # and / to me

Filter Packages

• walrus.string: capitalization, casing, hyphenization, etc
• walrus.inflection: pluralization, etc
• walrus.date: date formatting
• walrus.domain: bring raw json objects into the client domain (perhaps theres a better name for this)
