Dustjs Helper - options

Loads an option value:

{@options key="my-test" resource="/models/example/test.json" /}

The JSON file would look something like:

{
    "my-test": "My Test",
    "other-option": 1234
}

If you are re-using this dustjs template on the browser (using browserify), make sure the json file is required when compiling.

Using Grunt-Browserify:

module.exports = function browserify(grunt) {
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-browserify');

    return {
        build: {
            files: grunt.file.expandMapping('public/js/*.js', '../htdocs/js/', {
                flatten: true,
                ext: '.js'
            }),
            options: {
                watch: false,
                keepAlive: false,
                debug: true,
                require: [
                    './models/example/test.json'
                ]
            }
        }
    };
};

render templates

If the key attribute is not set it will try and render the body:

<select name="group">
{@options resource="/models/user/groups.json"}
    {#items}
        <option value="{key}" {@eq key=key value=group}selected{/eq}>{value}</option>
    {/items}
{/options}
</select>
