basic extends template functionality

[garyhiscox]

Hi Tony,

I have branched the extends functionality and added a MXUnit test - extendsTemplate()

I didn't think extends was part of the Mustache spec. Did they add it recently?

Currently mustache.java, hogan.js and phly_mustache support template
inheritance.

I read all those threads before posting, but it's never been officially added to the language from what I can see.

Since we've been trying to keep Mustache.cfc to support what's in the official spec, what I'd do is create a sub-class of Mustache and add the functionality to that component--which should be fairly straightforward.

That way we expose the functionality for those that want it and if it becomes official, we push into into the base Mustache.cfc.

Does that make sense?

what is the status of this? are we going to merge it?

[dswitzer]

It's not actually part of the official spec as far as I can tell, but there
are implementations that support it. Seems like the best option would be to
sub-class Mustache.cfc and include that in the build. That way we have the
feature for those that need it, but don't have it in the base class.

that's an excellent idea.

That sounds like a good plan, Time is limited at the moment, I will rework
the code into a sub-class as soon as possible.
