A new attempt to add templating to d3.js

D3.js templating test based on my previous solution of John Berryman's attempt.

The HTMLTemplateElement is currently supported in Chrome, Firefox and Opera (15+) for now. See Eric Bidelman HTMLTemplateElement tuturial

I change the idea of use HTMLTemplateElement.content because is only supported by 3 browsers . I'm using HTMLElement.innerHTML to read the template content and DOMParser() to inject the result into the DOM. To hide the content of <template> (HTMLUnknownElement) on other browsers (Safari, IE, etc) I add a CSS rule with display:none. On browsers that support HTMLTemplateElement the <script> isn't fired when the browser parse the document, but is different on HTMLUnknownElements. If someone know how to break the script execution on HTMLUnknownElements please send me a tweet @baldpower

Fork me @ GITHUB

TODOs:

(function (d3Pointers) {
// hack to hide <template> (HTMLUnknownElement) on browsers without HTMLTemplateElement
(function (style) {
style.appendChild(document.createTextNode("")); // webkit workaround
document.head.appendChild(style);
var addCss = function (r,i) {
return (style.sheet.insertRule) ? style.sheet.insertRule(r,i) : style.sheet.addRule(r,i); // insertRule on FF, addRule on IE
};
addCss("template {display: none !important;}", 0);
})(
document.createElement("style")
);
var callTemplate = function(callback,sel,d) {
sel = (sel) ? // Include "template" on selector
'template' +
(
(sel.match(/^[\#|\.|\:|\[]/g)) ?
sel :
' ' + sel
) :
'';
var parser = new DOMParser(),
template = d3.select(sel)[0][0], //select template node
thisSelection = (d) ? this.datum(d) : this, // Solve datum as parameter
templateContent = template.innerHTML
.replace(/\<script.*?\>.*?\<\/script\>/gi,''); // Exclude "script" on template content
parser.async = false;
thisSelection.each(function (d) {
var renderedContent = callback(templateContent, d), // call render engine
parsedContent = parser
.parseFromString(renderedContent,'text/xml') // deserialize rendered content
.documentElement
.firstChild;
// import rendered nodes on actual node
while (parsedContent) {
this.appendChild(
this.ownerDocument.importNode(parsedContent, true)
);
parsedContent = parsedContent.nextSibling;
}
});
};
// Add callTemplate Prototype to d3 pointers
while((pointer = d3Pointers.pop())) {
pointer.prototype.callTemplate = callTemplate;
}
})(
[d3.selection, d3.selection.enter]
);
