grunt-tpl

Concatenate templates to one object in one file.

Getting Started

Install this grunt plugin next to your project's grunt.js gruntfile with: npm install grunt-tpl

Then add this line to your project's grunt.js gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-tpl');

Documentation

This task is meant to concatenate templates of any variety to one file with with one object to be compiled client-side.

Project Configuration

This example shows a brief overview of the grunt.js gruntfile config properties used by the tpl task.

// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
  tpl: {
    "path/to/concatenated/template-file.js": ["array/of/paths/to/templates/**/*", "/exact/location/of/template.mustache"]
  }
});

Specify the paths to the concatenated template files as keys. That filename (extension or not) will be used to namespace the Object. The values can be a string or array of strings to relative or absolute paths to your template files. You can use wildcards such as /**/* and /*.js as documented by minimatch.

Example

Assume you have three Mustache templates named a.mustache, b.tpl, and c in a directory test/templates/.

a.mustache

Hello {{a}}

b.tpl

<ul>
{{#items}}
  <li>{{.}}</li>
{{/items}}
</ul>

c

template {{c}}

If you want them concatenated into the file simple/path/t.js, your config would be:

grunt.initConfig({
  // ... other configs
 
  tpl: {
    "simple/path/t.js": ["test/templates/*"]
  }
 
  // ... other configs
});

t.js

this['t'] = this['t'] || {};
 
this['t']['a'] = 'Hello {{a}}';
 
this['t']['b'] = '<ul>{{#items}}  <li>{{.}}</li>{{/items}}</ul>';
 
this['t']['c'] = 'template {{c}}';

The filenames of your templates will be used as keys in the object

You can then compile these at any time.

var h = Hogan.compile(window.t['a']);
h.render(info);
