Installation

You need to add jquery.js & jput2.js :

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jput.min.js"></script>

Simple Example

In this simple example you have list of users as JSON. So you want to render all this as html. In this example you are using data attributes to call jPut.

#####Code

<ul jput="users" jput-jsondata='[{"name":"User 1"},{"name":"User 2"},{"name":"User 3"}]'>
     	<li>{{json.name}}</li>
</ul> 

In this example jput="users" attribute sets the entire div as jPut template for methord users. By putting this attribute the jPut will create a Object inside the variable jPut.[jPut.users] (NOTE: jPut variable is created inside the jQuery plugin. So please avoide to use jPut variable in your code).

jput-jsondata='' is the attribute used to set your default data.If your default data is empty jPut wont render anything.

Databinding

For data binding we use {{ json.name }} expression. Since jPut is storing all values in JSON you have to user json.YOUR_VARIABLE_NAME

Simple Example 2 (Setting Data in JavaScript)

<script>
//on document ready
$(document).ready(function(){
    //your variable with your users information
    var users=[{"name":"User 1"},{"name":"User 2"},{"name":"User 3"}];
    /*
    * Binding your json to jPut
    * jPut.<yourTemplateName>.data
    */
    jPut.users.data=users;
});
</script>
      
<ul jput="users">
     	<li>{{json.name}}</li>
</ul> 

###Template Properties

In jPut template you can give any kind of expressions and also you can call your own custom JavaScript functions. jPut expressions are written inside double braces: {{ expression }}. You can also use different expression if you have conflict with any other plugin or framework.{[ expression ]} For this you have to set you expression as "exp2".

ex :

<script>
function grade(mark)
{
	if(mark>200)
		return "A";
	else if(mark>150)
		return "B";
	else
		return "C";		
}
</script>
      
<ul jput="users" jput-jsondata='[{"name":"User 1","total":180},{"name":"User 2","total":260}]'>
     	<li>Name : {{json.name}}</li>
     	<li>Total {{json.total}}</li>
     	<li>Percentage {{json.total/300}}</li>
     	<li>Grade {{grade(json.total)}}</li>
     	<li>Grade {{json.total>199?"PASS":"FAIL"}}</li>
</ul> 

###jPut Options

//The div you want to upload    
$('#main').jPut({
        dataName:'',    //object name if the json data is in specified object
