Tob is a project mainly written in JavaScript, it's free.
Template Observer. Enables self reloading templates on modification. Can work with many template engines.
This thing enables you to have self-reloading or 'managed' templates.
It watches for change in a template file, and then it executes the load method of the template on that file again.
it does like a proxy action for the privetly saved template function. when the template regenerated it replaceces the privet function. and no referenced are required to be updated in the running program
in the load method of the template observer. you encapsulate generation and parsing of the template and return the function of a the template
a usual temlpate engine is a program that reads a file, parses it by its own way and returns a javascript function, to be called as a temlplate.
to see an example see test.js
