Install

Install with npm

npm install gulp-angular-templatecache --save-dev

Example

gulpfile.js

Concatenate the contents of all .html-files in the templates directory and save to public/templates.js (default filename).

var templateCache = require('gulp-angular-templatecache');

gulp.task('default', function () {
  return gulp.src('templates/**/*.html')
    .pipe(templateCache())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('public'));
});

Result (public/templates.js)

Sample output (prettified).

angular.module("templates").run([$templateCache,
  function($templateCache) {
    $templateCache.put("template1.html",
      // template1.html content (escaped)
    );
    $templateCache.put("template2.html",
      // template2.html content (escaped)
    );
    // etc.
  }
]);

Include this file in your app and AngularJS will use the $templateCache when available.

Note: this plugin will not create a new AngularJS module by default, but use a module called templates. If you would like to create a new module, set options.standalone to true.

Note: if you use Visual Studio on Windows, you might encounter this error message: ASPNETCOMPILER : error ASPRUNTIME: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

This is most likely due to long path names, and can be fixed by adding lodash.bind as a dev dependecy in your package.json. Anyway, if you encounter this error, please drop a note in #62, and we might merge #63.
