gulp-atril-html2js v0.0.4

Description

This is a gulp plugin for atril, an experimental UI framework in the collective spirit of ReactJS, Polymer, Angular 2 and Aurelia.

Converts HTML templates into JavaScript modules that self-add to atril's view cache. This lets you avoid runtime XHR imports.

The converted files use require style imports.

Installation and Usage

To install:

npm i --save-dev gulp-atril-html2js

Without Concatenation

In your gulpfile.js:

var $ = require('gulp-load-plugins')();

gulp.task('views', function() {
  return gulp.src([
      'src/app/**/*.html',
      'src/app/**/*.svg'
    ])
    .pipe($.atrilHtml2js({stripPrefix: 'src'}))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/app'));
});

In your scripts:

// Each view has to be imported separately.
import 'app/my-component/my-component.html';
import {Component} from 'atril';

@Component({my-component})
class VM {static viewUrl = 'app/my-component/my-component.html'}

With Concatenation

In your gulpfile.js:

var $ = require('gulp-load-plugins')();

gulp.task('views', function() {
  return gulp.src([
      'src/app/**/*.html',
      'src/app/**/*.svg'
    ])
    .pipe($.atrilHtml2js({
      stripPrefix: 'src',
      concat: 'views.js'
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/app'));
});

In your scripts:

// Imports and caches all views at once.
import 'app/views';
import {Component} from 'atril';

@Component({my-component})
class VM {static viewUrl = 'app/my-component/my-component.html'}

Alternative

A great alternative for SystemJS / jspm users is the SystemJS text plugin. Example usage:

import {Component} from 'atril';
// Import as a string.
import view from './my-component.html!text';

@Component({my-component})
class VM {static view = view}

This automatically works with jspm's bundling. If you're not using TypeScript (which is impossible to stop from complaining about relative text imports), this is a better option than gulp-atril-html2js.
