mustache_extras.rb

module Mustache::FormBuilder
  def formable(object)
    lambda do |text|
      form_for(object) do |f|
        obj = FormableMustache.new(yield(f))
        Mustache.render(text, obj).html_safe
      end
    end
  end
end

class FormableMustache < Mustache
  def initialize(data)
    data.each_pair do |key, value|
      FormableMustache.send(:define_method, key, proc{value})
    end
  end
  
  def escapeHTML(str)
    str
  end
end

Oh, this looks great. FormBuilders are what's been keeping me from trying Mustache with Rails. I'll have to play with this now.
