<p>
    Spectrum.js is a JavaScript template language targetted at both the server (e.g. node.js) and the client-side.
</p>

<p>
    It has a lightweight syntax, using embedded JavaScript for logic rather than inventing yet another language to learn.
    This "logic-ful" template approach ensures that all of you view logic can live within your views, in contrast to the some recent "logic-less" template" systems.
</p>

<p>
    It also borrows heavilly from <a href="http://masonhq.com/">Mason</a> to achieve high levels of reuse within your templates.
</p>

<h2>Installing</h2>

<p>
    <a href="http://npmjs.org/">Npm</a> is recommended for development, although for production you might want to find/build a package for your operating system:
</p>

<pre><code>npm install spectrum</code></pre>

<h2>A Basic Example</h2>

<p>
    Create a <code>views/index.spv</code> file within a <a href="http://node.js/">node.js</a> project, containing the following:
</p>

<pre><code class="prettyprint">&lt;~inherit none /&gt;

one plus one is &lt;%= 1 + 1 %&gt;</code></pre>

<p>
    This template can be rendered with the following code.
    Adjust the file paths as appropriate.
</p>

<pre><code class="prettyprint">var Spectrum = require('spectrum');

var view = new Spectrum.Renderer(__dirname + '/../views');

view.render('/index.spv', {}).then(function (output) {
    // rendered content is available in the output variable
});</code></pre>

<p>
    This example assumes that the file you invoke it from is in a directory that is a sibling of the views directory.
