mustache-prestatic

{{ mustache }} prestatic

Node.js module that turns mustache files, partials and data into static HTML pages. Making mustache.js usable through a simple CLI and JavaScript API by allowing multiple files as input. mustache-prestatic automatically maps the passed partial files to their file names and populates the template files from passed data files with the same name.

npm install mustache-prestatic --save-dev

Examples

CLI

This will take all files in the 'views', 'data' and 'partials' directories and use those together to write HTML files to the 'dist' directory:

mustache-prestatic ./views/*.mustache --data ./data/* --partials ./partials/* --output dist

For example using the test input data files would be:

mustache-prestatic ./tests/input/views/*.mustache --data ./tests/input/data/* --partials ./tests/input/partials/*

JavaScript

const { render } = require('mustache-prestatic');

const templateFiles = ['views/blog.mustache', 'views/home.mustache'];
const dataFiles = ['data/home.json'];
const partialFiles = ['partials/article.mustache', 'partials/header.mustache'];

render(templateFiles, dataFiles, partialFiles)
  .then(console.info);
