Assemble-compile-file NPM

assemble-compile-file

Assemble plugin for compiling views (in a vinyl pipeline) that might need to be rendered more than once.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install assemble-compile-file --save

Usage

WIP! This is not 100% ready for production use!

Please feel free to play around with it if you want. Feedback or bug reports welcome.

var compileFile = require('assemble-compile-file');
var assemble = require('assemble');

// register as an instance plugin with assemble
var app = assemble()
  .use(compileFile());

// then use in a vinyl pipeline
app.src('*.hbs')
  .pipe(app.compilefile())
  .pipe(app.dest('foo'));

noop engine

By default, when no engine is found for a file an error is thrown. To get around this you can either define a noop engine, or use disable the engineStrict option.

A noop engine follows the same signature as any engine, but must be registered using the key: noop.

Example

app.engine('noop', function(view, opts, next) {
  // do whatever you want to `view`, or nothing
  next(null, view);
});

Options

options.engineStrict

By default, when no engine is found for a file an error is thrown. This can be disabled with the following:

app.option('engineStrict', false);

When disabled and an engine is not found, files are just passed through.
