A simple CLI for making HTML files from EJS templates.
npm i ejs2html -g
Usage: ejs2html [options] <config> [dest]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
Everything runs off of the config file. It looks something like this.
{
"files": [
{
"dest": "index.html",
"template": "layout",
"locals": {
"title": "Home",
"message": "Welcome to my app."
}
},
{
"dest": "about/index.html",
"template": "layout.ejs",
"locals": {
"title": "About",
"message": "This is the about page."
}
}
],
"globals": {
"app_name": "My App"
}
}
At the root level of the config should be:
Each file object inside of files should include:
dest param from the command line.[cli-dest]/[file-dest][.html]..html extension is optional_"src/ejs/config.json"
{
"files": [
{
"dest": "index.html",
"template": "layout",
"locals": {
"title": "Home",
"message": "Welcome to my app."
}
}
],
"globals": {
"app_name": "My App"
}
}
_"src/ejs/layout.ejs"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title><%= app_name %></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1><%= title %></h1>
<p><%= message %></p>
</body>
</html>
Running...
ejs2html _src/ejs/config.json
Yields...
"index.html"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>My App</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Home</h1>
<p>Welcome to my app.</p>
</body>
</html>
===
_"src/ejs/partials/header.ejs"
<h1><%= title %></h1>
_"src/ejs/partials/body.ejs"
<p><%= message %></p>
_"src/ejs/layout.ejs"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title><%= app_name %></title>
</head>
<body>
<%- include('partials/header') %>
<%- include('partials/body') %>
</body>
</html>
Running the following with same config as above would yield the same result as the previous example...
ejs2html _src/ejs/config.json

{
"files": [
{
"dest": "index.html",
"template": "layout",
"locals": {

"message": "Welcome to my app."
}
},
{
"dest": "about/index.html",
"template": "layout",
"locals": {
"title": "About",
"message": "This is the about page."
}
}
],
"globals": {
"app_name": "My App"
}
}

Running...
ejs2html _src/ejs/config.json
Yields...
