I'd like to use Jade templates client-side. Preferably generated using the Rails 3.1 asset pipeline. I can't really figure out how to do this.
Anyone who've stumbled upon the same problem and found a great solution? Any thoughts are much appreciated.
P.S: Probably right now Substack's answer is better.
Maybe you can use https://github.com/substack/node-browserify
Browser-side require() for your node
modules and npm packages
Just point a javascript file or two at
browserify and it will walk the AST to
read all your require()s recursively.
The resulting bundle has everything
you need, including pulling in
libraries you might have installed
using npm!
http://jsperf.com/dom-vs-innerhtml-based-templating/53 => The performance isn't that great according to this benchmark => http://gist.github.com/raw/550723/12d176698628e30a1df398c7ac7aea93924e1294/jade.js. But according to TJ it was never supposed to be used in the browser, but node.js instead. In that case it is going to be pretty fast. There are a lot of alternatives which you can use in the browser instead.
