# grunt-contrib-jst [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-jst.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-jst)
> Compile underscore templates to JST file.
## Getting Started
Install this grunt plugin next to your project's [grunt.js gruntfile][getting_started] with: `npm install grunt-contrib-jst`
Then add this line to your project's `grunt.js` gruntfile:
```javascript
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jst');
```
[grunt]: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt
[getting_started]: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/blob/master/docs/getting_started.md
### Overview
This task compiles Underscore compatible templates into functions that can be concatenated and minified with existing source files.
Inside your `grunt.js` file, add a section named `jst`. This section specifies the files to compile and the options passed to [underscore.template](http://underscorejs.org/#template).
#### Parameters
##### files ```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](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/blob/master/docs/api_template.md)) and the value (source) should be a filepath or an array of filepaths (supports [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch)).
Note: Values are precompiled to the namespaced JST array in the order passed.
##### options ```object```
This controls how this task (and its helpers) operate and should contain key:value pairs, see options below.
#### Options
##### namespace ```string```
The namespace in which the precompiled templates will be asssigned (default is JST). *Use dot notation (e.g. App.Templates) for nested namespaces.*
Example:
``` javascript
options: {
namespace: 'JST'
}
```
##### processName ```function```
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.
``` javascript
options: {
processName: function(filename) {
return filename.toUpperCase();
}
}
```
##### templateSettings ```object```
The settings passed to underscore when compiling templates.
#### Config Examples
``` javascript
jst: {
compile: {
options: {
templateSettings: {
interpolate : /\{\{(.+?)\}\}/g
}
},
files: {
"path/to/compiled/templates.js": ["path/to/source/**/*.html"]
}
}
}
```
