Readme
This is a command-line utility to compile javascript templates (currently Jade and Underscore) for use client-side.
TplCpl compiles a whole directory of your project's templates into single JS-file and optionally minifies them with Uglify.js.
Install TplCpl from npm:
sudo -g npm install tplcpl
tplcpl --help
Global (-g
) installation is preferred to use the command line tool.
Usage:
tplcpl -t path/to/templates -o path/to/templates.js -c
You have to pass -t
and -o
options - templates directory and output JS-file respectively.
-c
option means "compress" - minify output file with Uglify.js.
During compilation a directory is traversed recursively.
Template engine to compile with is chosen by file's extension.
Jade templates must have .jade
extension, underscore templates - .us
extension.
Download and run tplcpl-setup.exe Windows installer
TplCpl is installed to C:\tplcpl.
C:\tplcpl\bin\tplcpl -t path\to\templates -o path\to\templates.js -c
Under windows please avoid spaces in paths.
After templates are compiled, they may be used as following:
var html = Templating.tpl('my/template.jade', {foo:'bar'});
console.log(html);
A Templating namespace provides also a convenient way to add tpl()
helper to your javascript "class".
Suppose we have an OOP module like this:
var MyModule = function () {
};
MyModule.prototype.myMethod = function () {
};
//etc...
Then we make:
Templating.enable(MyModule);
Now instances of MyModule will have a tpl()
method:
var inst = new MyModule;
var h = inst.tpl('my/template.jade', {foo:'bar'});
Since tpl()
is added with Templating.enable
, templates rendering functions are bound to the calling object.
So in your jade or underscore templates you can use this
variable referring to the object that calls tpl()
.
There is a missing feature in Underscore templates - an escaping.
So it is added here.
Now
<%=variable%>
is used to escape special characters in a variable.
To show variable without escaping you should use:
<%-variable%>
I have written TplCpl for private use, so it is not a universal tool.
Feel free to fork it or submit an issue if you want to add any missing features.
