This uses doT.js to walk through directories and parse all directory names, filenames, and file contents for doT templates with supplied data. See the doT.js documentation for more.

npm i -s dotall

const dotAll = require('dotAll');

dotAll.renderDir('template_directory', {
  app: {
    name: "FlamingoApp"
  }
});

The method renderDir walks through a directory and renders all files, directories, and filenames using doT. It takes two arguments:

The method render takes a string and renders it using doT. It takes two arguments:

Template tags are formed using two consecutive curly brackets and an underscore, and rely on self for data:

<h1>{{_self.app.name}}</h1>

Here's a list of automagically available properties of self:

FILENAME Name of the currently processed file, e.g. main.js FILEPATH Path of the currently processed file, e.g. C:\

You can loop through arrays and objects using two curly brackets followed by an asterisk:

<ul id="todo-list">
{{*todos :todo:index}}
    <li>{{_index}}.) {{_action}}</li>
{{*}}
</ul>

...combined with the following data:

const = { 
    todos: ['Cleanup', 'Refactor', 'Package'] 
}; 

...yields this rendered template:

<ul id="todo-list">
    <li>1.) Cleanup</li>
    <li>2.) Refactor</li>
    <li>3.) Package</li>
</ul>

If the data path specified in a template couldn't be found, dotAll looks for a key called default in the data you passed and renders it instead. If no default key is provided, dotAll leaves these template tags untouched.
