Hi Hirsch,
I'm the author of Marko <https://github.com/marko-js/marko>. I would
recommend using Marko and wrapping the rendering logic for each form
element in a custom tag. A custom tag maps to a JavaScript renderer(input,
out) function that would contain all of the logic to control how the form
element renders based on the current view type. This keeps the complexity
out of your templates and solves your problem.
Hope that helps.
