xslt3-loader

xslt3-loader for Webpack

This Web loader can load XSLT stylesheets using Saxon-JS 2. The compiler is called to convert the stylesheet into the SEF format. The result will be a module exporting a single variable, stylesheet, which can then be imported into the frontend application and used by Saxon-JS 2. At this point, only the free (XX) compiler is supported. The name of the exported variable cannot be changed, as it can be changed during import.

Installation

Before using this loader, the xslt3 command line utility needs to be installed on the local system using

npm install -g xslt3

Usage

In your module.rules section of webpack.config.js, add a rule like so:

{
    test: /\.xsl$/,
    use: [ 'xslt3-loader' ]
}

In your application source, you can then import a stylesheet like so:

import { stylesheet as myStylesheet } from './my-stylesheet.xsl';

The stylesheet can then be used in invokations to Saxon-JS 2 like so:

import { stylesheet as example } from '../example.xsl';

console.log(SaxonJS.transform({ stylesheetInternal: example,
                                sourceText: '<foo>bar</foo>',
                                destination: 'serialized' }).principalResult);
