a server side mustache.js example using node.js

Question

I'm looking for an example using Mustachejs with Nodejs

here is my example but it is not working. Mustache is undefined. I'm using Mustachejs from the master branch.

var sys = require('sys'); var m = require("./mustache");  var view = {   title: "Joe",   calc: function() {     return 2 + 4;   } };     var template = "{{title}} spends {{calc}}";     var html = Mustache().to_html(template, view);  sys.puts(html); 

Answer 1

I got your example working by installing mustache via npm, using the correct require syntax and (as Derek said) using mustache as an object not a function

npm install mustache 

then

var sys = require('sys'); var mustache = require('mustache');  var view = {   title: "Joe",   calc: function() {     return 2 + 4;   } };  var template = "{{title}} spends {{calc}}";  var html = mustache.to_html(template, view);  sys.puts(html);  

Answer 2

Your example is almost correct. Mustache is an object, not a function, so it doesn't need the (). Rewritten as

var html = Mustache.to_html(template, view); 

will make it happier.
