Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

ejs-loader for webpack

npm Build Status

EJS (Underscore/LoDash Templates) loader for webpack. Uses lodash template function to compile templates.

If you are looking for the loader which uses EJS templating engine, there is ejs-compiled-loader

Installation

npm install ejs-loader

Usage

Documentation: Using loaders

var template = require("ejs!./file.ejs");
// => returns the template function compiled with undesrcore (lodash) templating engine.

// And then use it somewhere in your code
template(data) // Pass object with data

You also should provide a global _ variable with the lodash/underscore runtime. You can do it with the following webpack plugin: https://github.com/webpack/docs/wiki/list-of-plugins#provideplugin

plugins: [
    new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
        _: "underscore"
    })
]

Options

Underscore/Lodash options can be passed in using the querystring or adding an esjLoader options block to your configuration.

Config example with Webpack 4+

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.ejs$/,
        loader: 'ejs-loader',
        options: {
          variable: 'data',
          interpolate : '\\{\\{(.+?)\\}\\}',
          evaluate : '\\[\\[(.+?)\\]\\]'
        }
      }
    ]
  }
};

Config example using a querystring (deprecated):

module.exports = {
  module: {
    loaders: [
      { test: /\.ejs$/, loader: 'ejs-loader?variable=data' },
    ]
  }
};

is equivalent to

var template = _.template('<%= template %>', { variable : 'data' });
module.exports = {
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {
                test: /\.ejs$/,
                loader: 'ejs-loader',
                query: {
                    variable: 'data',
                    interpolate : '\\{\\{(.+?)\\}\\}',
                    evaluate : '\\[\\[(.+?)\\]\\]'
                }
            },
        ]
    }
};

is equivalent to

var template = _.template('<%= template %>', { variable: 'data', interpolate : '\\{\\{(.+?)\\}\\}', evaluate : '\\[\\[(.+?)\\]\\]' });

Config example using the ejsLoader config block (deprecated):

module.exports = {
  module: {
    loaders: [
      { test: /\.ejs$/, loader: 'ejs-loader' }
    ]
  },
  ejsLoader : {
    variable    : 'data',
    interpolate : /\{\{(.+?)\}\}/g,
    evaluate    : /\[\[(.+?)\]\]/g
  }
};

Export as CommonJS

By default, ejs-loader generates JS modules that use the ES modules syntax. There are some cases in which using ES modules is beneficial, like in the case of module concatenation and tree shaking.

You can enable a CommonJS module syntax using:

Config example with Webpack 4+

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.ejs$/,
        loader: 'ejs-loader',
        options: {
          esModule: false
        }
      }
    ]
  }
};

The variable option is required to compile EJS templates into ES compatible modules. If the variable option is not provided as a loader or query option, an Error will be thrown. Please see https://github.com/lodash/lodash/issues/3709#issuecomment-375898111 for additional details.

Including nested templates

Lodash template function does not provide include method of ejs module. To include other templates, passing template functions as parameters does the job. For example:

index.js:

var mainTemplate = require('ejs!./main.ejs');
var hyperlinkTemplate = require('ejs!./hyperlink.ejs');
var renderedHtml = mainTemplate({ hyperlink: hyperlinkTemplate });

main.ejs:

<h1><%= hyperlink({ name: 'Example', url: 'http://example.com' }) %></h1>

hyperlink.ejs:

<a href="<%= url %>"><%= name %></a>

As a result, renderedHtml becomes a string <h1><a href="http://example.com">Example</a></h1>.
