grunt-tmpl-compile v0.2.4

grunt-tmpl-compile

Concat and pre-compile your underscore and lodash template files.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-tmpl-compile');

The "tmpl_compile" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  tmpl_compile: {
    options: {
      namespace: 'Templates',
      preCompile: true,
      library: 'lodash'
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
})

Options

options.namespace

Type: String Default value: Templates

Global namespace variable to store the templates in.

options.preCompile

Type: Boolean Default value: true

Wether to precompile the templates, or create a function that will compile it on the first function call.

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the templates template_1 and template_2 will be concatenated to the file pre_compiled.js and added to the global namespace Templates. By default the lodash library will be used.`

grunt.initConfig({
  tmpl_compile: {
    options: {},
    files: {
      'tmp/pre_compiled.js': ['test/fixtures/template_1.tmpl.html', 'test/fixtures/template_2.tmpl.html'],
    },
  },
})

Custom Options

In this example the templates template_1 and template_2 will be concatenated. Each template will get a function on the namespace CustomNamespace. The template will be compiled on the first run and cached for later use.`

grunt.initConfig({
  tmpl_compile: {
    options: {
      namespace: 'CustomNamespace',
      preCompile: false,
      library: 'underscore'
    },
    files: {
      'tmp/compiled.js': ['test/fixtures/template_1.tmpl.html', 'test/fixtures/template_2.tmpl.html'],
    },
  },
})
