mint

Mint.js

Standard Interface to the Node.js Template Engines (JavaScript, CSS, text, etc.).

Install

npm install mint

Engines

mint = require("mint")
mint.coffee
mint.coffeekup
mint.eco
mint.ejs
mint.haml
mint.hamlcoffee
mint.handlebars
mint.jade
mint.less
mint.stylus
mint.markdown
mint.mustache
mint.uglifyjs
mint.yui

Example

mint     = require('mint')
mint.mustache "{title}!", locals: title: "Hello World", (string) -> console.log(string) #=> "Hello World!" 

or more formally:

input     = fs.readFileSync("./test/fixtures/views/jade.jade", "utf-8")
output    = fs.readFileSync("./test/fixtures/views/jade.html", "utf-8")
mint.jade input, {}, (error, result) ->
  assert.equal result, output

or if you want just to compile a template(Note: supports only jade, haml, handlebars, eco, ejs):

fn = mint.compile template: input, engine: 'jade' # Function 
fn title: 'Title', author: 'Some author' # String, rendered template 

API

mint[engine](string, options, callback)

Preprocessing

Sometimes you might need to hack in a feature to the language. Like right now, stylus doesn't support multiline values for css attributes, so you might add it like this:

input   = '''
div
  box-shadow: 0 -2px 2px  hsl(220, 20%, 40%),
    0 -10px 10px          hsl(220, 20%, 20%),
    0 0 15px              black,
 
    inset 0 5px 1px       hsla(220, 80%, 10%, 0.4), 
    inset 0 0 5px         hsla(220, 80%, 10%, 0.1),
    inset 0 20px 15px     hsla(220, 80%, 100%, 1),
 
    inset 0 1px 0         hsl(219, 20%, 0%), 
 
    inset 0 -50px 50px -40px hsla(220, 80%, 10%, .3),  /* gradient to inset */
 
    inset 0 -1px 0px      hsl(220, 20%, 20%),
    inset 0 -2px 0px      hsl(220, 20%, 40%),
    inset 0 -2px 1px      hsl(220, 20%, 65%)  
'''
 
output  = '''
div {
  box-shadow: 0 -2px 2px #525f7a, 0 -10px 10px #29303d, 0 0 15px #000, inset 0 5px 1px rgba(5,19,46,0.40), inset 0 0 5px rgba(5,19,46,0.10), inset 0 20px 15px #fff, inset 0 1px 0 #000, inset 0 -50px 50px -40px rgba(5,19,46,0.30), inset 0 -1px 0px #29303d, inset 0 -2px 0px #525f7a, inset 0 -2px 1px #94a0b8;
}
