Question

Is it possible to pass a javascript literal object to a custom tag in jsrender?
for example something like this:

{{tag parameter={width: 200, 
                 click: function(){
                            alert('clicked');
                      }
                } 
/}}

Right now it is not supported, assuming you don’t set allowCode=true. JsRender templates are supposed to be side-effect free. A javascript literal {} is creating a new Object() so is not side-effect free. But you can pass in any object you want via template parameters/helpers. Many ways to to do that, e.g. declaring helpers on the template, declaring global helpers, passing in as an option in the .render(data, options) call… Then you just write {{tag parameter=~myPassedInObject}}. You can also have a helper that returns different objects, such as {{tag parameter=~myWidthObject(200,...)}},
