vue-auto-tmpl-loader

Vue.js 2.0 webpack loader for automatic fetching of the files that can be separated from a .vue template if they exists in the same directory.

install

npm install --save-dev @rouche/vue-auto-tmpl-loader

Concept

Lets say you want to separate the concern for a .vue template, you have to repeat those lines.

<script lang="ts" src="./mycomponent.ts">
</script>

With this loader. You can leave the .vue with only the template, or even completelly empty.

The only important part is to keep the files along the template with the same name.

├── mycomponent
│   ├── mycomponent.vue (empty)
│   ├── mycomponent.vue.html
│   ├── mycomponent.ts
│   ├── mycomponent.scss
│   └── mycomponent.scoped.scss

Compatible (and tested) with

• webpack 4
• vue-cli 3
• vue-loader
• vue-template-loader
• typescript
• sass-loader
• etc..

Project with all tests: https://github.com/Rouche/vue-ts-template

It should run with mostly anything since it just modify the loaded file just before passing it to the next loader (vue-loader)

Webpack Configuration

Add vue-auto-tmpl-loader at 1st position to your webpack configuration.

vue.config.js (vue-cli 3)

config.module
	.rule('vue')
	.use('vue-auto-tmpl-loader')
	.loader('@rouche/vue-auto-tmpl-loader')
	.options({
		debug: true
	})
	.end();

Option Reference

startTag

• type: string
• default: '__{{'

endTag

• type: string
• default: '}}__'

Mustache is used to replace the src in section. ex: <script lang="xx" src="__{{{mustacheData.prop}}}__"></section> It is the only template engine that you can customize tags so it does not interfere with vuejs {{prop}} that need to be in your final template untouched.

mustacheData is the object used for render()

    let mustacheData = {
        path: (This is a path.parse(resourcePath) of original .vue file)
        sections: {
		(Information for each sections, check in code for easy understanding)
	}, 
    };

TL;DR

The main use, is to stop having to type those same lines of codes in .vue files. (or ts files) :

<template src="template.html">
</template>

<script lang="ts" src="component.ts">
</script>

<style scoped lang="scss" src="style.scss">
</style>

or

import WithRender from './helloworld.html?style=./helloworld.scss';

/**
 * Example for vue-template-loader
 */
@WithRender
@Component
bla bla

Just put your files in the same directory of your .vue and thats it! @WithRender is nice https://github.com/ktsn/vue-template-loader But you still need to repeat imports in your code. And its prone to copy paste.
