_.template([string=''], [options={}])

sourcenpm package

Creates a compiled template function that can interpolate data properties in "interpolate" delimiters, HTML-escape interpolated data properties in "escape" delimiters, and execute JavaScript in "evaluate" delimiters. Data properties may be accessed as free variables in the template. If a setting object is given, it takes precedence over _.templateSettings values.Note: In the development build _.template utilizes sourceURLs for easier debugging.For more information on precompiling templates see lodash's custom builds documentation.For more information on Chrome extension sandboxes see Chrome's extensions documentation.

Since

0.1.0

Arguments

• [string=''] (string): The template string.
• [options={}] (Object): The options object.
• [options.escape=.templateSettings.escape] (RegExp)_: The HTML "escape" delimiter.
• [options.evaluate=.templateSettings.evaluate] (RegExp)_: The "evaluate" delimiter.
• [options.imports=.templateSettings.imports] (Object)_: An object to import into the template as free variables.
• [options.interpolate=.templateSettings.interpolate] (RegExp)_: The "interpolate" delimiter.
• [options.sourceURL='lodash.templateSources[n]'] (string): The sourceURL of the compiled template.
• [options.variable='obj'] (string): The data object variable name.

Returns

(Function): Returns the compiled template function.

Example

// Use the "interpolate" delimiter to create a compiled template.
var compiled = _.template('hello <%= user %>!');
compiled({ 'user': 'fred' });
// => 'hello fred!'
 
// Use the HTML "escape" delimiter to escape data property values.
var compiled = _.template('<b><%- value %></b>');
compiled({ 'value': '<script>' });
// => '<b>&lt;script&gt;</b>'
 
// Use the "evaluate" delimiter to execute JavaScript and generate HTML.
var compiled = _.template('<% _.forEach(users, function(user) { %><li><%- user %></li><% }); %>');
compiled({ 'users': ['fred', 'barney'] });
// => '<li>fred</li><li>barney</li>'
 
// Use the internal `print` function in "evaluate" delimiters.
var compiled = _.template('<% print("hello " + user); %>!');
compiled({ 'user': 'barney' });
// => 'hello barney!'
 
// Use the ES template literal delimiter as an "interpolate" delimiter.
// Disable support by replacing the "interpolate" delimiter.
var compiled = _.template('hello ${ user }!');
compiled({ 'user': 'pebbles' });
// => 'hello pebbles!'
 
// Use backslashes to treat delimiters as plain text.
var compiled = _.template('<%= "\\<%- value %\\>" %>');
compiled({ 'value': 'ignored' });
// => '<%- value %>'
 
// Use the `imports` option to import `jQuery` as `jq`.
var text = '<% jq.each(users, function(user) { %><li><%- user %></li><% }); %>';
var compiled = _.template(text, { 'imports': { 'jq': jQuery } });
compiled({ 'users': ['fred', 'barney'] });
// => '<li>fred</li><li>barney</li>'
 
// Use the `sourceURL` option to specify a custom sourceURL for the template.
var compiled = _.template('hello <%= user %>!', { 'sourceURL': '/basic/greeting.jst' });
compiled(data);
// => Find the source of "greeting.jst" under the Sources tab or Resources panel of the web inspector.
 
// Use the `variable` option to ensure a with-statement isn't used in the compiled template.
var compiled = _.template('hi <%= data.user %>!', { 'variable': 'data' });
compiled.source;
// => function(data) {
//   var __t, __p = '';
//   __p += 'hi ' + ((__t = ( data.user )) == null ? '' : __t) + '!';
//   return __p;
// }
 
// Use custom template delimiters.
_.templateSettings.interpolate = /{{([\s\S]+?)}}/g;
var compiled = _.template('hello {{ user }}!');
compiled({ 'user': 'mustache' });
// => 'hello mustache!'
 
// Use the `source` property to inline compiled templates for meaningful
// line numbers in error messages and stack traces.
