TemplateReady

TemplateReady is multi-templating on the fly pre-compiler.

Why TemplateReady?

• Most common template libraries support. All at once.
• If rewrite template in another templating library - don't need to change client-side application code.
• Create common, minified and gzipped versions (useful with gzip_static Nginx module).
• Include template library runtime code (if exists) into the output script file.

Supported template libraries

• Underscore template - builds client-side independent methods. Not even need Underscore.js!
• Mustache - additional client-side runtime code required.
• Jade - additional client-side runtime code required.
