grunt-mustache

A grunt plugin to concatinate mustache template files into a valid JavaScript syntax file.

This plugin does NOT bake JSON data with mustache templates. This plugin is created to handle the template baking with mustache/handlebars within a web projects internal JavaScript methods.

Getting Started

Install this grunt plugin next to your project's Gruntfile.js with:

npm install grunt-mustache

Then add this line to your project's Gruntfile.js:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mustache');

Documentation

Add something like this in your gruntfile:

mustache: {
  files : {
    src: 'src/main/webapp/js/mustache/',
    dest: 'src/main/webapp/js/src/templates.js',
    options: {
      prefix: 'my.templates = ',
      postfix: ';',
      verbose: true
    }
  }
}

Note: If postfix/prefix options are set or not, you can either create a JS object;

my.templates = {"templatename": 'template-data' [...], "done": "true"};

or a JSON-ish-string:

({"templatename": 'template-data' [...], "done", "true"})

The parenthesis are there to produce a valid JavaScript file. In the future we might change this to write a JSON file if no pre/post-fix is set.

Options

prefix

• Type: String
• Defaults: (

String to prepend the generated string. Defaults to ( to give a valid JavaScript string.

postfix

• Type: String
• Defaults: )

String to append the generated string. Defaults to ) to give a valid JavaScript string.

verbose

• Type: Boolean
• Defaults: false

Toggle for verbose output.
