# tinyDOM-Sideburns A tinyDOM plugin that integrates Sideburns into batch selector. tinyDOM-Sideburns adds two new items to the mu global and one new function to the batch selector. ## Additions to mu mu has been given the property "templates", which holds pre-compiled templates (A version of the sideburns render function, pre-seeded with a node list containing the template) that were defined on page load. Any of these templates can be invoked as a function, with only the `data` and `options` parameters required. See [the sideburns repo](https://github.com/BuyPro/Sideburns) for more information about those parameters. tinyDOM-Sideburns also adds the `mu.render(template, data[, options])` function. The `template` parameter should be one of two things - either the name of a pre-compiled template (defined by the `data-name` attribute on the template script tag) or a string containing a template. The string will first be compared to the keys in the `mu.templates` object. If a match is found, that template will be used with the provided data and options - otherwise, the `template` parameter will be interpreted as a template itself. In both cases, this function works in the same way as the `sideburns.render(template, data[, options])` function in the aforementioned sideburns repo, and will return a string. ## Additions to mu/batch tinyDOM-Sideburns adds a `render(template, data[, options])` function to the mu batch object (obtained by using `mu("ident")`). It is identical to the `mu.render(template, data[, options])` function, but will automatically set the inner content of each matched element to the rendered template instead of returning a string. By default the batch method will set the `innerHTML` of the elements, but setting the `useHtml` property of `options` to `false` will cause the function to set the `textContent` instead (mitigating a potential xss vector if you don't trust the content being rendered). textContent is supported in IE >= 9.
