{{ mustache }} for Clojure.
Compliant with the Mustache spec since version 1.0. Supporting lambdas since version 1.1.
Works with Clojure 1.3 since version 1.2. If you want to use Clostache in Clojure 1.2 projects, use version 1.1.
The easiest way to use Clostache in your project is via Clojars.
Leiningen:
[de.ubercode.clostache/clostache "1.3.1"]Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>de.ubercode.clostache</groupId>
<artifactId>clostache</artifactId>
<version>1.3.1</version>
</dependency>To install it via cljr, run:
clrj install de.ubercode.clostache/clostache
This is how you use Clostache:
(use 'clostache.parser)
(render "Hello, {{name}}!" {:name "Felix"})You can render a resource from the classpath like this:
(use 'clostache.parser)
(render-resource "templates/hello.mustache" {:name "Michael"})Each function supports an optional third argument, containing partials (see below).
Variables are tags enclosed by two curly brackets (mustaches) and will be replaced with the respective data.
Template:
Hello, {{person}}!Data:
{:person "World"}Output:
Hello, World!
The following characters will be replaced with HTML entities:
&"<>. Tags that use three curly brackets or start with {{& will
not be escaped.
Template:
Escaped: {{html}}
Unescaped: {{{html}}}
Unescaped: {{&html}}Data:
{:html "<h1>Hello, World!</h1>"}Output:
Escaped: <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
Unescaped: <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
Unescaped: <h1>Hello, World!</h1>Sections start with a tag beginning with {{# and end with one
beginning with {{/. Their content is only rendered if the data is
either the boolean value true, a value or a non-empty list.
Template:
{{#greet}}Hello, World!{{/greet}}Data:
{:greet true}Output:
Hello, World!
In case of a list, the section's content is rendered for each element, and it can contain tags refering to the elements.
Template:
<ul>
{{#people}}
<li>{{name}}</li>
{{/people}}
</ul>Data:
{:people [{:name "Felix"} {:name "Jenny"}]}Output:
<ul>
<li>Felix</li>
<li>Jenny</li>
</ul>For single values, the section is rendered exactly once.
Template:
{{#greeting}}{{text}}!{{/greeting}}Data:
{:greeting {:text "Hello, World"}}Output:
Hello, World!
Inverted sections start with a tag beginning with {{^ and end with one
beginning with {{/. Their content is only rendered if the data is
either the boolean value false or an empty list.
Template:
{{^ignore}}Hello, World!{{/ignore}}Data:
{:ignore false}Output:
Hello, World!
Comments are tags that begin with {{!. They will not be rendered.
Template:
<h2>Felix' section<h2>
{{! Look ma, I've written a section }}Output:
<h2>Felix' section</h2>Dotted names are a shorter and more convenient way of accessing nested variables or sections.
Template:
{{greeting.text}}Data:
{:greeting {:text "Hello, World"}}Output:
Hello, World
Implicit iterators allow you to iterate over a one dimensional list of elements.
Template:
<ul>
{#names}}
<li>{{.}}</li>
{{/names}}
</ul>Data:
{:names ["Felix" "Jenny"]}Output:
<ul>
<li>Felix</li>
<li>Jenny</li>
</ul>Partials allow you to include other templates (e.g. from separate files).
Template:
Hello{{>names}}!Data:
{:people [{:name "Felix"} {:name "Jenny"}]}Partials:
{:names "{{#people}}, {{name}}{{/people}}"}Output:
Hello, Felix, Jenny!
You don't have to use mustaches, you can change the delimiters to anything you like.
Template:
{{=<% %>=}}
Hello, <%name%>!Data:
{:name "Felix"}Output:
Hello, Felix!
You can also call functions from templates.
Template:
{{hello}}
{{#greet}}Felix{{/greet}}Data:
{:hello "Hello, World!"}
{:greet #(str "Hello, " %)}Output:
Hello, World!
Hello, Felix!
Make sure you have Leiningen 2 installed.

And run them against all supported Clojure versions:
