Install | Example | API

Install

npm i --save-dev gulp-ng-template-strings

Example

Pass the plugin js files containing templateUrl properties to have them replaced with template properties.

gulpfile.js

var gulp = require('gulp');
var ngTemplateStrings = require('gulp-ng-template-strings');
 
gulp.task('default', function() {
  return gulp.src('src/**/*.js')
    .pipe(ngTemplateStrings())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

Input files

src/tab.js

function tabDirective() {
    return {
        templateUrl: 'templates/tab.html'
    };
}

templates/tab.html

<ul>
    <li>Tab</li>
</ul>

Output file

dist/tab.js

function tabDirective() {
    return {
        templateUrl: '<ul><li>Tab</li></ul>'
    };
}

API

All options can be passed on stream creation.

ngTemplateStrings(options)

cwd

By default the plugin looks for files based of the file.cwd of each file passed through. This option overrides that for all files passed to a stream.

ngTemplateStrings({cwd: 'root/of/templatesUrls/'})

minify

Your html strings will be minified with html-minifier. You can override our default configuration by passing a minify object in the settings object.

ngTemplateStrings({minify: {collapseWhitespace: false}})

By default we use the following options:

{
  removeComments: true, // remove html comments
  removeCommentsFromCDATA: true, // removes comments from inline JS & CSS
  collapseWhitespace: true, // collapse whitespace in text nodes
  caseSensitive: true // preserve case in attributes
  // all other options use html-minifier's default, false.
}

You can also disable minification altogether by passing:

ngTemplateStrings({minify: false})
