ejs-compiled-loader-webpack4-nodeps

Webpack 4+ loader to compile EJS templates.

The loader loads a .ejs file and returns a compiled template.

Why, oh why, yet another EJS webpack loader?

While there are many EJS webpack loaders, none of the ones I tried were good enough:

• some would render the template at build-time, but I needed template compilation, to be able to render the template at runtime
• some would do template compilation, but 3rd party dependencies like uglify-js would cause webpack to break with weird errors

This package does not depend on htmlmin, uglify-js, or other packages that may cause issues.

Installation

npm install --save-dev @testerum/ejs-compiled-loader-webpack4-nodeps

Webpack config

Minimum required configuration:

module.exports = {
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
                test: /\.ejs$/,
                use: "@testerum/ejs-compiled-loader-webpack4-nodeps"
            }
        ]
    }
};

It's also possible to pass options to EJS:

module.exports = {
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
                test: /\.ejs$/,
                use: [
                    {
                        loader: "@testerum/ejs-compiled-loader-webpack4-nodeps",
                        options: {
                            ejsOptions: {
                                compileDebug: true
                            }
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
};

Everything inside ejsOptions will be passed to EJS.
