Feature Proposal: Please consider adding JsViews library
Motivation
Please consider adding the jsviews library (
https://www.jsviews.com/#download) to the
JQueryRender plugin.
JsViews provides all of the
JsRender functionality, but adds data-linking. It is very handy to be able to retrieve data from Foswiki with a REST or JSON-RPC handler and have it update the DOM using
JsRender templates.
JsViews just makes this even more powerful by offering two-way data-linking and $.observable event handlers.
JsViews and
JsRender can be bundled separately, but they need to be version synced, so this is difficult to maintain as a third-party extension. It would be better if it could be included in
JQueryPlugin, either as part of
JQueryRender plugin or as an optional additional plugin.
I have a
JsViews.pm stub that I use to load jquery.observable and jquery.views with the current jquery.render as a dependency. This makes it easy to load
JsViews when you need it and fall back to plain
JsRender when you don't. I would be happy to repackage this to be included as part of the next
JQueryPlugin release if that would be helpful.
Description and Documentation
Bundle
JsViews as an optional plugin with
JQueryPlugin so that it can be more easily version synced with the already included
JsRender library.

I have created
Tasks.Item14454 to bundle
JsViews with
JQueryPlugin. I attached a tarball with a plugin topic, JS library, and
JQueryPlugin stub. I'm not sure if it conforms to the format you expect, so let me know if anything needs to be changed. I can also generate a pull request on the git repository if you prefer.
