Mustache.js template with function fails using command line tool

[hhumml]

Using the examples from the readme section, I get the following exception when trying it with the command line tool (installed with npm):

undefined:3
    "bold": function () {
             ^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token u
    at Object.parse (native)
    at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/mustache/bin/mustache:49:13

    at ReadStream.emit (events.js:117:20)
    at _stream_readable.js:944:16
    at process._tickCallback (node.js:442:13)

View

{
    "name": "Tater",
    "bold": function () {
        return function (text, render) {
            return "<b>" + render(text) + "</b>";
        }
    }
}

Template

{{#bold}}Hi {{name}}.{{/bold}}

When trying the same within the browser it works. What am I missing?

Background: I want to build a HTML template generator using the command line tool.

Hi @hhumml, the view argument is supposed to be a .json file. JSON format doesn't support functions.

@hhumml have example in the documentation of mustache :

Template:

{{#wrapped}}
  {{name}} is awesome.
{{/wrapped}}

Hash:

{
  "name": "Willy",
  "wrapped": function() {
    return function(text, render) {
      return "" + render(text) + ""
    }
  }
}

@renancarvalhoo, you can't store functions in a .json file.

[renancarvalhoo]

i know this but you can work the data in the javascript before pass to template mustache.

The documentation speak this.

@renancarvalhoo, but @hhumml is talking about using the command line tool.
