— Or files for mustache or other template parser
There is basically two web applications. One is a Discourse instance and the other is an independent web app/site. The goal is to render documents from the second web app inside the Discourse instance.
— Hence, I’m requesting the full documents from the second web app with asynchronous requests.
— I’m doing this as a job at university. The long-term idea is to use Discourse features like authentication, user management, the forum etc. for any web application without the need to tightly integrate the one with other.
— Then use api, they return json data
— All templates for the render point could be put into same .html and with template parser and data you may generate any custom layout
— I’m not dealing with any layouts here though
— The web application is stand-alone. I’m just embedding it into another web application.
— Discourse => someApp => myApp?
— Only Discourse and some app.
— The app is any web app or a static web site.
— In Discourse, I set up routes for this web app. When a path matching such a route is requested, the document of the web app is fetched and rendered inside the Discourse instance.
