builder-jade

Jade plugin for component-builder2.

• Caches compilations
• Either include the runtime as a dependency or a global
• Compiles the debugging version in development environment
• Option to compile the template to an HTML string

Example

var fs = require('fs');
var build = require('component-builder2');
var jade = require('builder-jade');
 
build.scripts(nodes)
  .use('scripts', build.plugins.js())
  .use('templates', build.plugins.string())
  .use('templates', jade({
    string: true,
  }))
  .use('jade', jade({
    runtime: false,
  }))
  .build(function (err, string) {
    if (err) throw err;
 
    fs.writeFileSync('build.js', string);
  })

You could put your jade files in .templates or create your own field like .jade.

Without the global runtime, you have to define the visionmedia/jade dependency in every component that uses jade templates. This is quite annoying:

{
  "name": "widget",
  "dependencies": {
    "visionmedia/jade": "*"
  },
  "templates": [
    "index.jade"
  ]
}

If you want to avoid this as, use the global runtime.

Options

Plugin options:

• string - compile the template as an HTML string instead of a function.
• runtime - use the global runtime instead of using a local jade dependency. See below.

Jade options:

• pretty
• self
• debug
• compiler
• globals

Global Runtime

You may use the global runtime by prepending jade.runtime to your build and using the .runtime option:

build.scripts(nodes)
  .use('templates', jade({
    runtime: true
  }))
  .build(function (err, string) {
    if (err) throw err;
    string = jade.runtime + string;
    fs.writeFileSync('build.js', string);
  })

This will create a global jade variable. However, the benefits are:

• Smaller .js build
• No more defining visionmedia/jade as a dependency in every component

However, you now essentially have to manage this dependency yourself.
