Multiple layouts

[shirk3y]

Hi,
Is there any way to implement mutliple layouts that use distinct set of base DOM elements and stylesheets? I've found solution to do it in Iron Router, but I don't want to mix ui-router with it.
And wider question: Are there plans to totally separate from Blaze in the future?

Hi @shirk3y , I'm sorry but I wasn't able to understand your question fully.

can you provide an example (in iron:router if that working for you)?

About separating from Blaze, the new version let's you use the .tpl file extension to make a file compile only with AngularJS and without Blaze.
You can have a look in the new tutorial:

@Urigo I mean something like http://www.manuel-schoebel.com/blog/iron-router-tutorial (See section "Specify a layout")

About new .tpl extension: Does it support alternative languages like jade?

[Urigo]

@shirk3y yes of course you can do few different layouts, this is a basic feature and the our tutorial is also specifying how to do that.

For more information, the best source will be ui-router

About .jade, Meteor gives each file extension only one build process so right now no jade in .tpl

Jade templates are now available through this angular-meteor package: https://github.com/civilframe/meteor-angular-jade/

@pbastowski Thanks a lot!

@pbastowski nice job!
If you want, you can pull request the readme file and add your package to the bottom

Guys
This is not my package. I just found it myself yesterday and thought I'd share :)

@pbastowski it doesn't mean you can't add it to the readme... :)
