grunt-script-template

Grunt task to generate files using script-template.

Overview

To use grunt-script-template you'll need three things: a template, data, and a destination. grunt-script-template will then run the data against the template and store the result in the specified destination. Both the template and destination are specified as relative paths to the files. Data may be specified as JSON data within the Gruntfile.js or can be specified as a function which will be evaluated with the result run against the template.

Specification

Inside your grunt.initConfig call you'll want to specify each template you want to run and a corresponding template (src), destination (dest), and data (data).

For example, the following is the configuration for the tests included with grunt-script-template:

grunt.initConfig({

    pkg: 'package.json',

    'script-template': {
        'static-array-test': {
            src: 'test/static-array-template.ts',
            dest: 'temp/static-array.ts',
            data: ['One', 'Two', 'Three']
        },
        'static-object-test': {
            src: 'test/static-object-template.ts',
            dest: 'temp/static-object.ts',
            data: {title: 'Static Object Title', values: ['a', 'b', 'c']}
        },
        'dynamic-one-test': {
            src: 'test/dynamic-one-template.ts',
            dest: 'temp/dynamic-one.ts',
            data: getData                        
                    // getData is a previously defined function,
                    // notice no parenthesis, passing the function, 
                    // not the results
        }
    },

    clean: {
        tests: ['temp']
    },

    'jasmine_node': {
        'tests': ['test/']
    }
});

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-script-template');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-clean');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-jasmine-node');

grunt.registerTask('default', ['clean', 'script-template', 'jasmine_node']);

script-template

script-template is a simple templating engine designed to generate scripts (JavaScript, TypeScript, CoffeeScript). The main advantage of this engine is that the source templates are themselves valid JavaScript/TypeScript/CoffeeScript.
