I’m building a single page web app when Backbone.js is my MV* framework. It requires Underscore.js so I wan’t to use it as my template engine.
I set the template result as the view content to display in it’s render function:

this.el.append( compiledTemplate );

I wonder about the right way to implement the template code:

  1. Should it be a JS code that produce an HTML text?
  2. Should it be an HTML file with a script tag to include the JS code?
  3. How can I separate the display from the logic?
  4. How can I write my CSS in a separate file (not in JS file)?

    1. Well… this is what the Underscore template engine is, isn’t it? so, no, your template should be HTML with interpolate tags.

    2. Normally it is a DOM element whose content is the template, and, yes, it is used to be a script tag.

    3. Force your self to only use interpolate Model attributes in your templates. You can pass especial pre-calculated attributes if you use any kind of Decorator technique.

    4. There is not any Backbone or Underscore restriction to you not include your external CSS files as usual.
