Selectable templates by having a directory each?

[o-jasper]

I tried to make each directory a set of templates, but so far it is creating weird bugs.

The bugs seem to care between other_function(functional_function()); and var a=functional_function(); other_function(a);, the former giving an error. Programming languages should in principle not care about that... The latter gives memory leaks issues..

Could do the same as with assets/...

Just like my other issue, probably low priority.

Ah there's some magic going on here. fs.readFileSync needs a string literal for the filepath, because the files' contents are actually inlined, replacing the fs.readFileSync call.

This magic is provided by brfs. Thats the only magic at work, i'm pretty sure. sorry for the confusion!

Right... It is essentially macro-ifies the function so browsers can handle it.. Glad i didnt push too hard, it would have taken me too much time to find out myself.. Thanks for the reponse :) I should have looked at documentation about it.

Strangely i do see you can use a parameter __dirname, and add it, not found yet how to use those though. If you could you'd only need to change one parameter; './templates/default/blala' you'd do __templates + 'blabla'.

__dirname is provided by node, so I think it is looking for that variable explicitly.

Here is the brfs is regarding dynamic require statements

I'm going to close this issue, but I'm happy to continue the discussion.

Browserify has this argument.

--insert-global-vars, --igv
Comma-separated list of global variables to detect and define.
Default: __filename,__dirname,process,Buffer,global

Beefy should be able to pass that along. So in the "start" entry of package.json, i put beefy app.js:bundle.js --open --live -- --insert-global-vars __filename,__dirname,process,Buffer,global,__templateFiles -t brfs It doesnt work if i put the definition var __templateFiles='./templates/default/' in lib/view.js, but it crashes if i put it in;

            var value = vars[name](file, basedir);

 TypeError: Property '__templateFiles' of object #<Object> is not a function

Edit: totally okay with it being closed. Otherwise the open issue list grows unmanagably..

At some point I will move to a more dynamic build system and then this part should be easier to deal with.
