Compile all templates inside "tpl" directories to standard JavaScript code for browser usage:

grunt.initConfig({
  client: {
    options: {
      compile: 'js'
    },
    files: [{
      expand: true,
      src: 'views/tpl/*.js-tpl',
      ext: '.js',
    }]
  },
});

Compile and concat all templates inside "templates" directory:

grunt.initConfig({
  templates: {
    src: 'src/templates/*.js-tpl',
    dest: 'www/templates.js',
    options: {
      compile: 'js',
    }
  },
});
