Using Underscore Templates in WordPress

1 Views

I’ve noticed that since WP 3.5 that we now have the Backbone.js and Underscore.js libraries included. The new Media Modal uses Underscore templates and I was wondering how would I be able to insert them, especially in the admin side of things.Is there a correct way to insert these?

  1. Your plugin index file:

    add_action( 'print_media_templates', 'wpse8170_admin_footer' );
function wpse8170_admin_footer() {

    require 'templates.php';
}

    Your templates.php:

    <script id="tmpl-mytemplate" type="text/html">
    <h1>Hello {{data.name}}!</h1>
</script>

    Your media js file:

    wp.media.view.MyView = wp.media.View.extend({
    template: wp.media.template('mytemplate'),

    render: function() {
        this.$el.html(this.template({name: 'world'}));
    }
});
