Caching

Caching allows you to improve performance by avoiding re-compiling the same template. It also means that you can use the runtime version of Squirrelly, which is more lightweight than the full version.

#With Express.js

Squirrelly automatically caches templates rendered with Express. To disable caching, set $cache in the data you call the template with to false.

#Naming Templates

Squirrelly allows you to give your templates a name to enable automatic caching.

#Example

var templateString = "This is a {{template}}"
var result1 = Sqrl.Render({template: 'Squirrelly Template', $name: 'mytemplate'}, templateString)
var result2 = Sqrl.Render({template: 'Another Thing', $name: 'mytemplate'}, templateString)
// This time, Squirrelly uses the compiled template from the first render and just calls it with new data
Copy

#Manually

Sqrl.Compile returns a function that can be called with data, Sqrl. You can save a compiled function, and call that function with whatever data you want.

#Example

var templateString = "This is a {{template}}"
var compiledTemplate = Sqrl.Compile(templateString)
var result1 = compiledTemplate({template: 'Squirrelly Template'}, Sqrl)
var result2 = compiledTemplate({template: 'Something Else'}, Sqrl)
Copy
