POHow to add a pure javascript compiler plugin server-side when running CFGroovy in Coldfusion?
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to sell myself to the idea of trying to build enhanced Jquery Mobile markup on the server (running <code>Coldfusion8</code>) and then try to use <a href="http://akdubya.github.com/dustjs/" rel="nofollow">DustJS</a> (Javascript templating engine) to precompile the markup into a js string, which I want to server as a static file. </p> <p>I think I have it down to trying to add the plugin in Coldfusion. Here is what I want to do:</p> <p>Start with a template like this in Coldfusion:</p> <pre><code><cfsavecontent variable="renderedResults"> <cfoutput> {##person}{root}: {name}, {age}{/person} </cfoutput> </cfsavecontent> </code></pre> <p>Running this through the <a href="http://akdubya.github.com/dustjs/" rel="nofollow">DustJS</a> compiler on NodeJS returns something like this:</p> <pre><code> (function() { dust.register("demo", body_0); function body_0(chk, ctx) { return chk.section(ctx.get("person"), ctx, { "block": body_1 }, null); } function body_1(chk, ctx) { return chk.reference(ctx.get("root"), ctx, "h").write(": ").reference(ctx.get("name"), ctx, "h").write(", ").reference(ctx.get("age"), ctx, "h"); } return body_0; })(); </code></pre> <p>which I then save as <code>someStaticTemplate.js</code>. This file is pulled in on the client and filled with dynmic data.</p> <p>My problem is compiling this in Coldfusion.</p> <p>I'm using <a href="http://www.barneyb.com/barneyblog/projects/cfgroovy2/" rel="nofollow"><code>Cfgroovy</code></a> in order to run Javascript on the server:</p> <pre><code> <cfimport prefix="g" taglib="../../tags/cfgroovy/" /> 35k zipped plugin here  var dustedTemplate = dust.compile( variables.tempLateToCompile, variables.templateName);  variables.put("renderedResult", dustedTemplate); </g:script> </code></pre> <p>However doing it like this returns the following error:</p> <pre><code>type: sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.JavaScriptException message: [object Error] (<Unknown Source>#1) </code></pre> <p>So I must be doing something wrong...</p> <p><strong>Question:</strong> </p> <p>Is it possible at all to compile this server-side into JS? If so, any idea how to include the plugin. I have also looked at <a href="http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1767-Running-Javascript-And-jQuery-In-ColdFusion-With-CFGroovy-And-Rhino.htm" rel="nofollow">this</a> post, but I'm already stretching what I can do, so I'm hoping this can work out as I'm trying above.</p> <p>Thanks for some inputs!</p> <p><strong>BOUNTY</strong>:<br> Ok, I give up trying myself. Bounty time... I'm looking for a Coldfusion code snippet that allows me to<br> a) load the DustJS plugin in a CFGrooy tag or alternative javascript enabling setting<br> b) let's me run the DustJS Javascript-compile function to turn my template from </p> <pre><code> {##person}{root}: {name}, {age}{/person} </code></pre> <p>into this:</p> <pre><code> (function() { dust.register("demo", body_0); function body_0(chk, ctx) { return chk.section(ctx.get("person"), ctx, { "block": body_1 }, null); } function body_1(chk, ctx) { return chk.reference(ctx.get("root"), ctx, "h").write(": ").reference(ctx.get("name"), ctx, "h").write(", ").reference(ctx.get("age"), ctx, "h"); } return body_0; })(); </code></pre> <p>If that is not possible technically, I'm open for alternative approaches, that allow me to create a template on the server, which is HTML based and includes placeholder so I can add dynamic data on the client. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
