layouts
Wraps templates with layouts. Layouts can use other layouts and be nested to any depth. This can be used 100% standalone to wrap any kind of file with banners, headers or footer content. Use for markdown, HTML, handlebars views, lo-dash templates, etc. Layouts can also be vinyl files.

Examples
Basic example
In this example, two layouts are used:
- the first layout,
one
, will wrap the string - the second layout,
two
, will wrap the first layout
var layouts = {
one: {content: 'one before\n{% body %}\none after', layout: 'two'},
two: {content: 'two before\n{% body %}\ntwo after'},
};
renderLayouts('<div>Wrap me with a layout!!!</div>', 'one', layouts);
Results in:
two before
one before
<div>Wrap me with a layout!!!</div>
one after
two after
HTML
This example shows how to use nested HTML layouts to wrap content:
var layouts = {};
layouts.base = {
path: 'base.tmpl',
content: [
'<!DOCTYPE html>',
'<html lang="en">',
' <head>',
' <meta charset="UTF-8">',
' <title>Home</title>',
' </head>',
' <body>',
' {% body %}',
' </body>',
'</html>',
].join('\n')
};
layouts.nav = {
path: 'nav.tmpl',
layout: 'base',
content: '<nav>\n{% body %}\n</nav>'
};
var str = [
'<ul class="categories">',
' <li class="active"> <a href="#"> Development </a> </li>',
' <li> <a href="#"> Design </a> </li>',
' <li> <a href="#"> Node.js </a> </li>',
'</ul>'
].join('\n')
renderLayouts(str, nav, layouts);
Results in something like:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Home</title>
</head>
<body>
<nav>
<ul class="categories">
<li class="active"> <a href="#"> Development </a> </li>
<li> <a href="#"> Design </a> </li>
<li> <a href="#"> Node.js </a> </li>
</ul>
</nav>
</body>
</html>
Customization
By default, {% body %}
is used as the placeholder (insertion point) for content, but this can easily be customized with the following options:
layoutDelims
: the delimiters to use. This can be a regex, like /{{([^}]+)\}}/
, or an array of delimiter strings, like ['{{', '}}']
contentTag
: the name of the content placeholder tag (defaults to body).
API

.
