gulp-mustache

mustache plugin for gulp

Usage

First, install gulp-mustache as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev gulp-mustache

Then, add it to your gulpfile.js:

var mustache = require("gulp-mustache");

gulp.src("./templates/*.mustache")
	.pipe(mustache({
		msg: "Hello Gulp!"
	}))
	.pipe(gulp.dest("./dist"));

You may also pass in an object representing mustache partials and their contents as a third argument to the call to mustache() like so:

With key/value pairs:

gulp.src("./templates/*.mustache")
	.pipe(mustache({
		msg: "Hello Gulp!",
		nested_value: "I am nested.",
		another_value: "1 2 3"
	},{},{
		some_inner_partial: "<p>{{nested_value}}</p>",
		another_partial: "<div>{{another_value}}</div>"
	})).pipe(gulp.dest("./dist"));

With a json file:

gulp.src("./templates/*.mustache")
	.pipe(mustache('your_json_file.json',{},{}))
	.pipe(gulp.dest("./dist"));

Partials loaded from disk

Mustache partials not given in the partials argument will be loaded from disk, relative from the file currently being processed:

{{> ../partials/head }}

This will find a head.mustache in the partials directory next to the current file's directory. Partials loading is recursive.

API

mustache(view, options, partials)

The options object to configure the plugin.
