grunt-contrib-jst Build Status

Precompile Underscore templates to JST file.

Getting Started

If you haven't used grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a gruntfile as well as install and use grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-contrib-jst --save-dev

Jst task

Run this task with the grunt jst command.

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named jst to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  jst: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
})

Options

files

Type: Object

This defines what files this task will process and should contain key:value pairs.

The key (destination) should be an unique filepath (supports grunt.template) and the value (source) should be a filepath or an array of filepaths (supports minimatch).

Note: Values are precompiled to the namespaced JST array in the order passed.

options.namespace

Type: String Default: 'JST'

The namespace in which the precompiled templates will be asssigned. Use dot notation (e.g. App.Templates) for nested namespaces.

options.processName

Type: function Default: null

This option accepts a function which takes one argument (the template filepath) and returns a string which will be used as the key for the precompiled template object. The example below stores all templates on the default JST namespace in capital letters.

options: {
  processName: function(filename) {
    return filename.toUpperCase();
  }
}

options.templateSettings

Type: Object Default: null

The settings passed to underscore when compiling templates.

jst: {
  compile: {
    options: {
      templateSettings: {
        interpolate : /\{\{(.+?)\}\}/g
      }
    },
    files: {
      "path/to/compiled/templates.js": ["path/to/source/**/*.html"]
    }
  }
}
options.prettify

Type: boolean Default: false

When doing a quick once-over of your compiled template file, it's nice to see an easy-to-read format that has one line per template. This will accomplish that.

options: {
  prettify: true
}
options.amdWrapper

Type: boolean Default: false

With Require.js and a pre-compiled template.js you want the templates to be wrapped in a define. This will wrap the output in:

define(function() {
  //Templates
  return this["NAMESPACE"];
});

Example:

options: {
  amdWrapper: true
}

Examples

jst: {
  compile: {
    options: {
      templateSettings: {
        interpolate : /\{\{(.+?)\}\}/g
      }
    },
    files: {
      "path/to/compiled/templates.js": ["path/to/source/**/*.html"]
    }
  }
}
