@justinbmeyer a electron gulp task can look like this: https://github.com/pYr0x/testapp/blob/master/gulpfile.js . this app works with electron on windows. how can we make this gulp task more doneJS-like? if you want we can talk about. let me know
Where helper implements the if by calling options.fn and options.inverse
For the if/else blocks respectively
Check out mustache_helpers.is for examples
.js *
depending on what your helper does, it might simplify it to use a call expression
I haven't used the 2.3 syntax yet
it will look at the viewmodel and then the helpers
in stache how do I check the condition xxx > yyy?
when does it make sense to add a function to the viewModel versus as a helper?
it’s much easier to unit test functions or properties on the viewModel
or for global things like language translation or different formatters
thanks, what about the other question? xxx > yyy in stache
would it make more sense to use mustache or ejs for complex templates? are those available as options?
it has a lot of performance benefits and other features compared to mustache
ejs is depracated
and can’t be used with components
any plans on expanding stache to include #gt, #lt, etc.?
definitely feel free to open an issue to request it
Thanks. In fact if you point me to the code, I could create a PR.

How do I specify an array of Types?
like a single property that can have multiple types?
so you want a property on a Map that is a list where each entry is a Person?
yes - your question probably explained the answer -
can.List.extend({ define: person: {Type:Person}})
when I use
{{person[0].status}} I am getting [object Object]
that was the same result as what I typed earlier
show the same thing?
that’s good enough to keep me going, but how would I reference
person[0]?
you can either do something like add a
first property to your list or a firstPerson property to your map
actually… does
{{person.0}} work?
thanks
other questions: I have an array of strings - how do I represent that in a Map? How do I show one or more values in stache?
For the Map I have tried String.List, that seems to be okay
Once it is a can.List - how do I show the items?
. means current context, which would be the string if it’s an array of strings
Thank-you. BTW String.List worked in my Map.define
Messing w/ native prototypes is taboo
I always use value: Array/Object, and combine that w/ Type unless it’s a can.List/can.Map, which is implicit
@RALifeCoach just so you know, you don’t need to always set the Type
how would define know whether it is an array of numbers or strings?
define’s really just used for fine-grain control of properties on maps
While I agree I don’t always need to set the type, good practice suggests that the more information I provide, the better
I think about half the places where I used it I had to add some property besides the string at some point in the lifetime of that functionality
and then I had to convert it to a Map.List anyways
Unfortuneately, this is legacy code and I don’t have the option to make those kinds of changes
I'm in the process in converting a whole slew of legacy code as well
one spec at a time ;)
