Behance Hogan Compiler

This Browser / Node.js library is a helper for loading mustache templates via Hogan.js.

Features

• caching & asynchronous loading
• retrieval and resolution of partials
• retrieve the files any way you like via the driver (e.g, XHR in the browser and fs in Node.js)

Usage

const hoganCompiler = require('be-hogan-compiler');

// Bring Your Own Driver
const fsDriver = require('be-hogan-compiler/src/drivers/fs');
const templatesPath = '/tmp';

const compiler = hoganCompiler.create(fsDriver, templatesPath/*, options */);

// When using `options.isCached`, you may want to populate the cache before making `.compile()` calls
compiler.populateCache()
.then(() => console.log('Cache has been populated'));

// provide just the name, no need for the template dir or the extension
compiler.compile('my_template')
.then((template) => {
  const renderedString = template.render({ name: 'Mary' });
  console.log(renderedString);
});

Create Arguments:

• driver - will be used to read files. All methods must return a Promise. See src/drivers/fs for an example.
• templatesPath - absolute path to the templates
• options.extension - defaults to mustache (e.g., template.mustache)
• options.isCached - cache compiled templates in the created instance

HoganCompilerOptions:

• asString - return the compiled template as a string. This feature is used by hulk to produce strings containing pre-compiled templates.
• sectionTags - allow custom tags that require opening and closing tags, and treat them as though they were section tags.
• delimiters - A string that overrides the default delimiters. Example: "<% %>"
• disableLambda - isables the higher-order sections / lambda-replace features of Mustache.
