fig-compiler

fig.js component compiler

usage

api

obj = compiler(input[, opts])

Where input is a string a of fig component. Available options for the opts object are as follows:

• opts.filePath - required if you want to use pug's relative includes/extends inside of the component
• opts.defaultName - name set for the component, if the label is missing on the component
• opts.debug - if set to true passes debug and compileDebug to pug, tldr: if false output is smaller, at the cost of some pretty error messages

Returns an obj which has a few properties:

• obj.template - a function compiled by pug that takes a locals object and spits out HTML when asked to
• obj.style - just a string containing the contents of the style tag inside the component
• obj.script - string of code which just so happens to be ran through babel with the es-2015 preset for your dearest convenience.
• obj.name - name of the component, taken from the label tag, or opts.defaultName if that doesn't exist. Otherwise undefined

connect middleware

For development pleasure, this module includes a simple connect middleware function, compatible with express. Used akin to express.static middleware, point it to the directory you store your fig components in, the middleware should compile the component on the fly (without caching) and serve it to the client.

:warning: Not meant to be used in production.

example

// server.js
const express = require('express')
const fig = require('fig-compiler/connect')

const app = express()
app.use(fig('components'))

app.listen(3000)

// client.js
const app = fig()
app.use('main-view.fig') // pulls from localhost:3000/main-view.fig
app._components.get('main-view') // should be the compiled component

install
