gulp-swig-precompile

Swig precompiler for gulp

Install

Install as a development dependency using npm

npm install --save-dev gulp-swig-precompile

Example

This example makes your templates AMD modules.

var gulp = require('gulp'),
    swig = require('gulp-swig-precompile'),
    path = require('path');

gulp.task('templates', function () {
   gulp.src('views/**/*.html', { base: path.join(__dirname, 'views') })
      .pipe(swig({ output: 'define(function () { return <%= template %>; });' }))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('public/js'));
});

Note that setting the base path also sets the root directory for the templates, which is useful for templates that make use of template inheritence.
