grunt-mustache-mustache v0.1.0

grunt-mustache-mustache

Render mustache files with data sources

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.2

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-mustache-mustache --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mustache-mustache');

The "mustache_mustache" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named mustache_mustache to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  options: {
    // task level options
    partials: "",
    data: ""
  },
  target: {
    src: "",
    dest: ""
  }
});

Options

options.partials

Type: String Default value: ''

The root directory to look for partials.

options.data

Type: String Default value: ''

The global data scope for rendering will be consist of the json files found in this directory. Every json will be available with its name as a root property.

A structure like this:

data/
  people.json
  colors.json

will translate to:

{
  people: the parsed contents of people.json,
  colors: the parsed contents of colors.json
}

Usage Examples

Default Options

grunt.initConfig({
  mustache_mustache: {
    options: {},
    partials: {
      src: "some/path/partials.mustache",
      dest: "other/partials.mustache"
    }
  },
});

Custom Options

Specify a partial folder to use partials in your templates. Partials can be nested in folders, in that case, you can refer to them in templates like {{> nested/partial}}.

From the data root, every json file will be collected and merged into a single object, and will be used as the root rendering context. Nested jsons will be ignored.

grunt.initConfig({
  mustache_mustache: {
    options: {
      partials: "test/partials/",
      data: "test/data/"
    },
    globbing: {
      expand: true,
      cwd: "some/path/",
      src: ["*.mustache"],
      dest: "tmp/"
    }
  },
});
