grunt-eco

grunt-eco

Compiles Embedded CoffeeScript templates (.eco) into JavaScript functions.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4

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, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-eco --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile.js with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-eco');

This plugin was designed to work with Grunt 0.4.x. If you're still using grunt v0.3.x it's strongly recommended that you upgrade, but in case you can't please use v0.3.1.

eco task

Run this task with the grunt eco command.

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.

Options

amd

Type: Boolean Default: false

Defines if compiled function will be wrapped in AMD define function.

emptyWarning

Type: Boolean Default: true

Defines if task will warn about empty files on console.

jstGlobalCheck

Type: Boolean Default: true

Defines if compiled function is prepended by code checking/defining presence of JST object on window.

please note when amd is set to true the jstGlobalCheck is ignored.

Warning

preserve_dirs and base_path options are not supported anymore! See examples how task's paths are configured now.

Examples

Two most common ways of compiling all globbed paths into single file:

eco: {
  app: {
    files: {
      'path/to/templates.js': ['src/templates/**/*.eco']
    }
  }
}

eco: {
  app: {
    src: ['src/templates/**/*.eco'],
    dest: 'path/to/templates.js'
  }
}

If you need to compile .eco templates into individual files in some sort of destination folder, you can dynamiccally build path object:

eco: {
  app: {
    files: [{
      expand: true,
      src: ['src/templates/**/*.eco'],
      dest: 'path/to/templates',
      ext: '.js'
    }]
  }
}

If you ommit dest key, templates will be compiled right next to your .eco files.

To configure eco task simply define options object:

eco: {
  app: {
    options: {
      amd: true
    }
    files: {
      'path/to/templates.js': ['src/templates/**/*.eco']
    }
  }
}
