karma-angular-templating-html2js-preprocessor

Preprocessor for converting Meteor HTML template files to AngularJS templates. Use it with https://github.com/Sanjo/angular-templating

Installation

The easiest way is to keep karma-angular-templating-html2js-preprocessor as a devDependency in your package.json.

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "karma": "~0.10",
    "karma-angular-templating-html2js-preprocessor": "~0.1"
  }
}

You can simple do it by:

npm install karma-angular-templating-html2js-preprocessor --save-dev

Configuration

// karma.conf.js
module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    preprocessors: {
      '**/*.html': ['angular-templating-html2js']
    },

    files: [
      '*.js',
      '*.html',
      // if you wanna load template files in nested directories, you must use this
      '**/*.html'
    ],

    angularTemplatingHtml2JsPreprocessor: {
      // setting this option will create only a single module that contains templates
      // from all the files, so you can load them all with module('foo')
      moduleName: 'foo'
    }
  });
};

How does it work ?

This preprocessor converts HTML files into JS strings and generates Angular modules. These modules, when loaded, puts these HTML files into the $templateCache and therefore Angular won't try to fetch them from the server.

For instance this template.html...

<template name="template">
  <div>something</div>
</template>

... will be served as template:

angular.module('template', []).config(function($templateCache) {
  $templateCache.put('template', '<div>something</div>');
});

See the ng-directive-testing for a complete example.
