01:36 <jugglinmike> thanks ddfreyne

01:37 <jugglinmike> bobthecow: I have a quick Mustache question for you

01:37 <jugglinmike> I

01:37 <jugglinmike> m misunderstanding something basic, because I expect this code to execute the lambda when expanding the template, but it prints the empty string

01:38 <jugglinmike> require 'mustache'

01:38 <jugglinmike> context = {}

01:38 <jugglinmike> 'this is a string'

01:38 <jugglinmike> end

01:38 <jugglinmike> def context.str()

01:38 <jugglinmike> STDOUT.puts Mustache.render '{{ str }}', context

01:42 <bobthecow> Mustache.render "{{ str }}", {str: -> { "this is a string" }}

01:44 <bobthecow> to be honest, i haven't used mustache on ruby enough to know whether that's considered a lambda value or just a dynamic value. different mustaches treat "anonymous function as a value in a hash" differently.

01:57 <jugglinmike> whoaa I've never seen that syntax before

01:57 <jugglinmike> anonymous function

01:57 <jugglinmike> hmm.. ideally, I would like to be able to pass a Module

01:58 <jugglinmike> This is in service of Nanoc's Mustache filter

01:59 <jugglinmike> Because there ought to be a way to specify Nanoc "helpers" so that you can do something like, "{{ helpers.gravatar }}" from a Mustache template run through a nanoc filter

02:00 <jugglinmike> ...where, in your Rules file, you wrote something like `filter '*', :mustache, :helpers => MyHelpersModule

02:00 <jugglinmike> `

02:11 <bobthecow> that syntax is called a "stabby lambda"

02:11 <bobthecow> it was introduced in 1.9

02:11 <bobthecow> -> { foo } == lambda { foo }

02:12 <bobthecow> which is approximately the same as Proc.new { foo }

02:14 <bobthecow> https://github.com/nanoc/nanoc/blob/master/lib/nanoc/filters/mustache.rb#L18

02:14 <bobthecow> if that line were changed to this:

02:15 <bobthecow> context = params.merge(item.attributes).merge({:yield => assigns[:content] })

02:15 <bobthecow> that should do what you want.

02:16 <bobthecow> most other filters take an options hash, and most of 'em pass it through to the underlying lib.

02:16 <bobthecow> so that would be consistent with every other filter that takes options.

02:16 <bobthecow> ddfreyne would probably accept a pull request if you wanted to submit one.

02:27 <jugglinmike> ddfreyne: Yeah, I talked with him about this first

02:28 <jugglinmike> oops, I mean bobthecow

02:28 <jugglinmike> Here's my work in progress: https://github.com/jugglinmike/nanoc/compare/mustache-improvements

02:28 <jugglinmike> Even using `merge`, Mustache doesn't recognize the helper function

02:29 <bobthecow> what if you passed a static value in?

02:29 <bobthecow> :helpers => { :foo=>'bar'}

02:29 <jugglinmike> trying..

02:31 <jugglinmike> alright, so in that form

02:31 <jugglinmike> ie `{{#helpers.shout}}something{{/helpers.shout}}`

02:31 <jugglinmike> then the value of `helpers.shout` will be used as a boolean

02:32 <jugglinmike> and that works--if I specify `helpers => { :shout => true } }`, the "X" prints

02:32 <jugglinmike> and when I set it to `false`, the empty string is rendered

02:34 <jugglinmike> but!

02:35 <jugglinmike> If I define a `Helpers` module

02:37 <jugglinmike> no

02:37 <jugglinmike> uhg I don't know

02:38 <jugglinmike> It's getting late here. I think I'll head out. Thanks for humoring me, bobthecow

02:44 <bobthecow> number-six: tell jugglinmike try it with a class instance rather than a module.

02:45 <bobthecow> hrm.

08:18 <ddfreyne> bobthecow: !tell

08:18 <ddfreyne> !tell bobthecow this is how it works

08:18 <number-six> ddfreyne: I'll pass that on when I see bobthecow here.

08:19 <ddfreyne> I haven't really spent a lot of time on nanoc lately. There's a big project at work and it is sucking all the energy out of me, I think.

08:49 <gnufied> is there an easy to reuse base nanoc structure between projects?

08:49 <gnufied> way*

08:49 <gnufied> such as - Rules, layouts, base CSS

08:50 <gnufied> I know I can reuse by simply copying stuff, but it gets painful to share base styles and rules etc

18:42 <bobthecow> gnufied: git submodules ftw.

18:42 <number-six> bobthecow: ddfreyne (10 hours ago): this is how it works

18:43 <bobthecow> !tell ddfreyne thanks.

18:43 <number-six> bobthecow: I'll pass that on when I see ddfreyne here.

18:46 <bobthecow> gnufied: in one of my projects, my rules file just imports other rules files from rules/*.rb ... i do it because my rules file was enormous.

18:46 <bobthecow> but you could have a rules submodule, with generic shared rules between different sites.

18:46 <bobthecow> rules/assets.rb that handles generic routing and compiling of less, sass, css, js, coffeescript, etc.

18:46 <bobthecow> rules/articles.rb with blog-specific stuff.

18:46 <bobthecow> whatever.
