Bracer

Bracer is a simple grunt task which lets you render and compile mustache and handlebar templates.

You can define data sources, partial directories, and helper files.

For each target, you can also define local partials and data. This is helpful if your project is module based, and each template is contained in a component folder. Local partials and data will be resolved relative to each template, and takes precedence during lookup. In context creation, this means local scopes will override global properties.

Options

partials

Type: String Default: ""

A directory path where partials will be resolved globally.

localPartials

Type: String Default: ""

A target specific option. A path fragment for a directory. This will be concatenated to the currently processed templates directory name, and partials for that template will be first looked up here.

data

Type: String Default: ""

A globbing pattern for .json files. Every file will be placed on an object that will represent the global rendering context. Their file names will be property keys, and their value will be the parsed content.

localData

Type: String Default: ""

A globbing pattern fragment. This will be concatenated to the currently processed template's directory name, and executed. The resulting data object then will be merged with the global context. This merged context will be passed to the renderer.

helpers

Type: String Default: ""

A globbing patter for .js files. These files will be require()-d and executed with two arguments like this:

require(helper)(global, grunt)

In the js file, you can then attach helpers to the global scope to use in templates. You can also use grunt's static methods from the second argument.

Install

npm install bracer --save-dev

Grunt task

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-bracer');

Usage

grunt.initConfig({
  bracer: {
    options: {
      partials: "test/global/partials/",
      data: "test/global/data/*.json",
      helpers: "test/global/helpers/*.js"
    },
    render: {
      options: {
        localPartials: "partials/",
        localData: "data/*.json"
      },
      expand: true,
      cwd: "test/template/",
      src: "*.mustache",
      dest: "test/rendered/",
      ext: ".html"
    }
  }
})
