Format Helpers

Formatters are a way to change the default rendering of a template.
To illustrate the way these Format Helpers work, we will pretend we have the following data in our database:

name	price	url
Golden Pickles	4022	pickles.html

When you are rendering your template, use the following Helpers to change the it is rendered.

$.formatDate(format, value);

This will append a date string to the given selector.

var datestamp = "2009-02-21 12:23";
$(".myclass").formatDate("m D Y, H:i", datestamp);

$.formatNumber(number, options);

This will append a numerical string to the given selector.

$(".myclass").formatNumber("price", {
});

$.formatLink(text, href, options);

This will append a link (<a>) to the given selector.

$("a.myclass").formatLink("Item: {name}", "mysite.com/{url}", {
     title: "I am a link.",
     className: "cname",
     Target: "_blank"
});

Options	Description

className	Set the Class attribute for the Anchor Tag. You can pass multiple Class Names, separated by spaces. This will only Add Class Names to the Anchor tag, and not remove any existing Class Names.
