Broccoli Underscore Template Compiler

Installation

npm install -D broccoli-underscore-template-compiler

Example

var compileTemplates = require('broccoli-underscore-template-compiler');
 
var templatesTree = compileTemplates('templates', {
  description: 'TemplateCompiler (appTemplates)'
});

Input Format

Given the following input:

<template id="firstTemplate" data-notes="This is my first template">
  <%- message %>
</template>

This plugin will produce an ES6 module equivalent to:

export var firstTemplate = _.extend(_.template('\n  <%- message %>\n'), {
  metadata: {
    notes: 'This is my first template'
  }
});
 
export default {
  firstTemplate: firstTemplate
};

Each <template> in the source file will be available as a field in the module's default export, as well as an exported variable of the same name, with any data attributes on the template available under a metadata hash hanging off of the resulting function.

Usage

The templates produced by this filter are just the output of Underscore's _.template function, so you can use them as their documentation suggests:

var helloTemplate = _.template("hello: <%= name %>");
helloTemplate({ name: 'moe' });
//=> "hello: moe"

The exported template function is exposed from the compiled module, e.g.

<!-- templates/my-templates.html -->
<template id="helloTemplate">hello: <%= name %></template>

import { helloTemplate } from 'templates/my-templates';
helloTemplate({ name: 'moe' });
//=> "hello: moe"

Configuration
