Mustache JS Templating - 如何在脚本标记字符串中嵌入变量？

Question

I just started using Mustache and I like it so far, but this has me perplexed.

I am using the GitHub gist API to pull down my gists, and part of what I want to do is include the embedding functionality into my page. The problem is Mustache seems to not want to have anything to do with my dynamic script tag.

For example, this works fine:

<div class="gist-detail">
    {{id}} <!-- This produces a valid Gist ID -->
</div>

Additionally, this works perfect:

<div class="gist-detail">
    <script src='http://gist.github.com/1.js'></script> <!-- Produces the correct embed markup with Gist ID #1 -->
</div>    

If I try to pull these together , something goes terribly wrong:

<div class="gist-detail">
    <script src='http://gist.github.com/{{id}}.js'></script> <!-- Blows up! -->
</div>  

Chrome Inspector shows this:

GET https://gist.github.com/%7B%7Bid%7D%7D.js 404 (Not Found)

... which looks like to me something is weird with escapes or whatnot, so I switch over to the raw syntax:

<div class="gist-detail">
    <script src='http://gist.github.com/{{{id}}}.js'></script> <!-- Blows again! -->
</div>  

And I get the same result in Inspector:

GET https://gist.github.com/%7B%7B%7Bid%7D%7D%7D.js 404 (Not Found)

How do I get the correct values to embed in the script tag?

EDIT

I am injecting the template as follows (in document.ready :

function LoadGists() {
    var gistApi = "https://api.github.com/users/<myuser>/gists";

    $.getJSON(gistApi, function (data) {

        var html, template;
        template = $('#mustache_gist').html();

        html = Mustache.to_html(template, {gists: data}).replace(/^\s*/mg, '');
        $('.gist').html(html);
    });

}

The actually template is inside of a ruby partial, but it is wrapped in a div (not a script tag, is that a problem?) (that's hidden):

<div id="mustache_gist" style="display: none;">

    {{#gists}}
        <!-- see above -->
    {{/gists}}

</div>

I assume a div is ok rather than a script because in either case, I'm pulling the .html() . Is this a bad assumption?

要避免在Mustache中自动转义，请使用{{{token}}}而不是{{token}}。

It seems like your template is in HTML and trying to retrieve the template using html() results in a pre-URL-escaped template to be returned. Try placing your template inside a <script type="text/html"> tag instead.

When you embed your template inside an HTML element that excepts more HTML elements as children, it may get processed by the browser as HTML. Escaping may occur. By using a <script> tag with a non-script content type, you're basically telling the browser not to touch your template.

It looks like your script is getting requested before Mustache has a chance to update the src property. What you want to do is define the template in a way that it's not parsed as part of the DOM. A common approach is to define your template inside of a <textarea> tag. This will preserve formatting and prevent character escaping.

<textarea id="gist-detail-template" style="display:none">
  <script src='http://gist.github.com/{{id}}.js'></script>
</textarea>

Now, to instantiate the template:

var template = $('#gist-detail-template').val();
var html = Mustache.to_html(template, yourTemplateData);
