Installation
$ npm install bowtie-jsSyntax highlighting
Syntax highlighting and auto completion is available for Atom editor. Syntax highlighting is triggered on .bow-files.
Install:
$ apm install atom-language-bowtieUsage
With Gulp
Gulp compatible compiling comes out of the box with Bowtie, example:
var gulp = require('gulp');
var bowtie = require('bowtie-js').gulp;
gulp.task('bowtie', function() {
return gulp.src('*.bow')
.pipe(bowtie({
// Pretty output
"pretty": true,
// Object to pass to template engine
"locals": {
"title": "Example application"
}
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
});Example
!doctype("html")
html {
head {
title: $title
}
body {
div.className {
h1: "Example"
p: "Hello world!"
}
}
}The example above outputs:
<html>
<head>
<title>Example application</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="className">
<h1>Example</h1>
<p>Hello world!</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
