AngularJS Template loader for webpack
This is a fork of the ngtemplate-loader with a few quality of life updates.
Includes your AngularJS templates into your webpack Javascript Bundle. Pre-loads the AngularJS template cache to remove initial load times of templates.
ngTemplate loader does not minify or process your HTML at all, and instead uses the standard loaders such as html-loader or raw-loader. This gives you the flexibility to pick and choose your HTML loaders.
Install
npm install ngtemplate-typescript-loader --save-dev
Usage
ngTemplate loader will export the path of the HTML file, so you can use require directly AngularJS with templateUrl parameters e.g.
var templateUrl = require('ngtemplate!html!./test.html');
app.directive('testDirective', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
templateUrl: templateUrl
}
});
To remove the extra require
, check out the Baggage Example below.
ngTemplate creates a JS module that initialises the $templateCache with the HTML under the file path e.g.
require('!ngtemplate?relativeTo=/projects/test/app!html!file.html');
// => generates the javascript:
// angular.module('ng').run(['$templateCache', function(c) { c.put('file.html', '<file.html processed by html-loader>') }]);
Beware of requiring from the directive definition
The following code is wrong, Because it'll operate only after angular bootstraps:
app.directive('testDirective', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
templateUrl: require('ngtemplate!html!./test.html') // <- WRONG !
}
});
relativeTo
and prefix
You can set the base path of your templates using relativeTo
and prefix
parameters. relativeTo
is used
to strip a matching prefix from the absolute path of the input html file. prefix
is then appended to path.
The prefix of the path up to and including the first relativeTo
match is stripped, e.g.
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.html$/,
loader: 'ngtemplate-typescript-loader',
options: {
relativeTo: '/src/'
}
}
]
}
};
// file in which the html file is imported
require('/test/src/test.html');
// c.put('test.html', ...)
You can also set the relativeTo parameter to an array of strings and this allows you to strip paths for multiple possible parameters. The parameter to match eariliest in the path will be where the loader strips the path from:
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.html$/,
loader: 'ngtemplate-typescript-loader',
options: {
relativeTo: ['/src/', '/node_modules/'],
exportAsEs6Default: true
}
}
]
}
};
// file in which the html file is imported
import templateUrl from '../../node_modules/test/src/test.html';
// c.put('test/src/test.html', ...)
import templateUrl from './test/src/test.html'
// c.put('test.html', ...)
To match the from the start of the absolute path prefix a '//', e.g.
require('!ngtemplate?relativeTo=//Users/WearyMonkey/project/test/!html!/test/src/test.html');
// c.put('src/test.html', ...)
You can combine relativeTo
and prefix
to replace the prefix in the absolute path, e.g.
require('!ngtemplate?relativeTo=src/&prefix=build/!html!/test/src/test.html');
// c.put('build/test.html', ...)
module
By default ngTemplate loader adds a run method to the global 'ng' module which does not need to explicitly required by your app.
You can override this by setting the module
parameter, e.g.
require('!ngtemplate?module=myTemplates&relativeTo=/projects/test/app!html!file.html');
// => returns the javascript:
// angular.module('myTemplates').run(['$templateCache', function(c) { c.put('file.html', '<file.html processed by html-loader>') }]);
Parameter Interpolation
module
, relativeTo
and prefix
parameters are interpolated using
Webpack's standard interpolation rules.
Interpolation regular expressions can be passed using the extra parameters moduleRegExp
, relativeToRegExp
and prefixRegExp
which apply to single parameters, or regExp
which will apply to all three parameters.
Path Separators (Or using on Windows)
By default, ngTemplate loader will assume you are using unix style path separators '/' for html paths in your project.
e.g. templateUrl: '/views/app.html'
. If however you want to use Window's style path separators ''
e.g. templateUrl: '\\views\\app.html'
you can override the separator by providing the pathSep parameter.
require('ngtemplate?pathSep=\\!html!.\\test.html')
Make sure you use the same path separator for the prefix
and relativeTo
parameters, all templateUrls and in your webpack.config.js file.
Export formats
There are different export formats available:
module.exports
(default, cjs format). "myTemplateUrl" becomesmodule.exports = "myTemplateUrl";
exports.default
(whenexportAsDefault
param is set, es6to5 format). "myTemplateUrl" becomesexports.default = "myTemplateUrl";
export default
(whenexportAsEs6Default
param is set, es6 format). "myTemplateUrl" becomesexport default "myTemplateUrl";
Using with npm requires
This module relies on angular being available on window
object. However, in cases angular is connected from node_modules
via require('angular')
, option to force this module to get the angular should be used:
require('!ngtemplate?requireAngular!html!file.html');
// => generates the javascript:
// var angular = require('angular');
// angular.module('ng').run(['$templateCache', function(c) { c.put('file.html', '<file.html processed by html-loader>') }]);
Webpack Config
module.exports = {
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.html$/,
loader: 'ngtemplate-typescript-loader',
options: {
relativeTo: '/app'
}
}
]
}
};
Dynamic Requires
Webpack's dynamic requires do not implicitly call the IIFE wrapping each
call to window.angular.module('ng').run(...)
, so if you use them to
require a folder full of partials, you must manually iterate through the
resulting object and resolve each dependency in order to accomodate angular's
side-effects oriented module system:
var templates = require.context('.', false, /\.html$/);
templates.keys().forEach(function(key) {
templates(key);
});
Baggage Example
ngTemplate loader works well with the Baggage Loader to remove all those extra HTML and CSS requires. See an example of a directive and webpack.config.js below. Or take a look at more complete example in the examples/baggage folder.
With a folder structure:
app/
├── app.js
├── index.html
├── webpack.config.js
└── my-directive/
├── my-directive.js
├── my-directive.css
└── my-directive.html
and a webpack.config.js like:
module.exports = {
module: {
preLoaders: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
loader: 'baggage?[file].html&[file].css'
}
],
loaders: [
{
test: /\.html$/,
loader: 'ngtemplate?relativeTo=' + __dirname + '/!html'
}
]
}
};
You can now skip the initial require of html and css like so:
app.directive('myDirective', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
templateUrl: require('./my-directive.html')
}
});
