grunt-add-view

Input html files and out put a js file that exports all the html as a object of the for {filename:html text}. It is intended to be used as a view object in single page web apps.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-add-view --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-add-view');

The "add_view" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named add_view to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  add_view: {
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists go here.
    },
  },
})

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the files src/login.htm and src/register.html are compiled into a view object that wrapped in a common js export and stored in dest/view.js. So if the login.html file has the content <label>Hello World</label> and the register.html file had the content <label for="name">NAME</label><input id="name">, the generated result contained in view.js would be:

'use strict';
module.exports = {"login":"<label>Hello World</label>", "register":"<label for=\"name\">NAME</label><input id=\"name\">"};

grunt.initConfig({
  add_view: {
    files: {
      'dest/view.js': ['src/login.html', 'src/register.html'],
    },
  },
})

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
