grunt-contrib-jst

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.

This task is a [multi task][] so any targets, files and options should be specified according to the [multi task][] documentation. [multi task]: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/wiki/Configuring-tasks

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.

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();
  }
}

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"]
    }
  }
}

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
}

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
}

Usage Examples

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