eoraptor-jst

Precompile eoraptor templates to JST file.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.4

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 eoraptor-jst --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('eoraptor-jst');

The "eoraptor_jst" task

Overview

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

grunt.initConfig({
  eoraptor_jst: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

Options

namespace

Type: String Default value: 'eoraptor'

The namespace in which the precompiled templates will be assigned. Use dot notation (e.g. App.Templates) for nested namespaces or false for no namespace wrapping. When false with amd option set true, templates will be returned directly from the AMD wrapper.

processName

Type: Function Default value:

function(filepath) {
  return filepath.match(/([^\/]+)\.tpl.js$/)[1];
}

This option accepts a function which takes one argument (the template filepath) and returns a string which will be used as the key for the precompiled template object. By default, it's a file's name without the path and external parts.

module

Type: Boolean Default: false Available Value: false, amd, cmd

Wraps the output file with an AMD define function and returns the compiled template namespace unless namespace has been explicitly set to false in which case the template function will be returned directly.

when module is false(default)

(function() {
  //...
})();

when module is amd

define(function() {
  //...
  return namespace;
});

when module is cmd

define(function(require, exports, module) {
  //...
  module.exports = namespace;
});

Usage Examples

grunt.initConfig({
  eoraptor_jst: {
    foo: {

      },
      files: {
        "path/to/compiled.js": ["path/to/templates/*.tpl.js"]
      }
    }
  }
