Install with npm:
$ npm i assemble-core --save
var assemble = require('assemble-core');
var app = assemble();
view collections

var app = assemble();

Now you can add pages with app.page() or app.pages():
app.page('home.hbs', {content: 'this is the home page!'});
render
Render a view:
var app = assemble();
var view = app.view('foo', {content: 'Hi, my name is <%= name %>'});
app.render(view, { name: 'Brian' }, function(err, res) {
console.log(res.content);
//=> 'Hi, my name is Brian'
});
Render a view from a collection:
var app = assemble();
app.create('pages');
app.page('foo', {content: 'Hi, my name is <%= name %>'})
.set('data.name', 'Brian')
.render(function (err, res) {
console.log(res.content);
//=> 'Hi, my name is Brian'
});
Create an assemble application. This is the main function exported by the assemble module.
Params
options {Object}: Optionally pass default options to use.Example
var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();
Assemble has an extensive API for working with templates and template collections. In fact, the entire API from the templates library is available on Assemble.
While we work on getting the assemble docs updated with these methods you can visit the templates library to learn more about the full range of features and options.
Assemble has the following methods for working with the file system:
Assemble v0.6.0 has full vinyl-fs support, so any gulp plugin should work with assemble.
Use one or more glob patterns or filepaths to specify source files.
Params
glob {String|Array}: Glob patterns or file paths to source files.options {Object}: Options or locals to merge into the context and/or pass to src pluginsExample
app.src('src/*.hbs', {layout: 'default'});
Specify the destination to use for processed files.
Params
dest {String|Function}: File path or custom renaming function.options {Object}: Options and locals to pass to dest pluginsExample
app.dest('dist/');
Copy files from A to B, where A is any pattern that would be valid in app.src and B is the destination directory.
Params
patterns {String|Array}: One or more file paths or glob patterns for the source files to copy.dest {String|Function}: Desination directory.returns {Stream}: The stream is returned, so you can continue processing files if necessary.Example
app.copy('assets/**', 'dist/');
Glob patterns or paths for symlinks.
Params
glob {String|Array}Example
app.symlink('src/**');
Assemble has the following methods for running tasks and controlling workflows:
Define a task. Tasks are functions that are stored on a tasks object, allowing them to be called later by the build method. (the CLI calls build to run tasks)
Params
name {String}: Task namefn {Function}: function that is called when the task is run.Example
app.task('default', function() {
return app.src('templates/*.hbs')
.pipe(app.dest('dist/'));
});
Run one or more tasks.
Params
tasks {Array|String}: Task name or array of task names.cb {Function}: callback function that exposes errExample
app.build(['foo', 'bar'], function(err) {
if (err) console.error('ERROR:', err);
});
Watch files, run one or more tasks when a watched file changes.
Params
glob {String|Array}: Filepaths or glob patterns.tasks {Array}: Task(s) to watch.Example
app.task('watch', function() {
app.watch('docs/*.md', ['docs']);
});
