I have a simple template:
<div class='welcome'>Welcome <%- first_name %>!</div>
However my variable first_name is not rendered. This works fine:
<div class='welcome'>Welcome <%= first_name %>!</div>
and this correctly logs the variable:
<div class='welcome'>Welcome <%- first_name %><% console.log(first_name);console.log(typeof(first_name)); %>!</div>
which is of type string as expected. I couldn't find anyone with the same problem in the community. Is there something obvious I'm missing?
For context, this is used in a Marionette app that takes care of displaying the template.
This is an issue related to requirejs-tpl. Here is a discussion of the issue
dawsontoth made a fix in his fork
To add it to your bower dependencies, add "requirejs-tpl-dawsontoth": "*", (it also depends on requirejs-text)
