// ./src/main.js
module.exports = {
pages_input_dir: './src/', // optionnal
pages_output_dir: './dist/pages/', // optionnal
pages: {
home: { __src: 'home', __args: { name: 'Denis Migdal' } },
error_404: { __src: 'error', __args: { code: 404 } },
error_403: { __src: 'error', __args: { code: 403 } },
demos: { // this is a directory
demo_1: {__src: 'demos/demo_1'},
demo_2: {__src: 'demos/demo_2'}
}
}
};Tip: You can even dynamically generate your website structure from your project.
// ./webpack.config.js
let website = require('./src/main.js');
let {build_website} = require('prehtml-loader/webpack_helper.js');
let html_config = (dst_path, src) => { // write here how you want HTML files to be build.
return {
module: {
rules: [{
enforce: 'post',
test: /\.html$/,
use: {
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
outputPath: './../', // required
name: dst_path
}
}
},{
test: /\.html$/,
use: ['prehtml-loader'],
}
]},
entry: {
main: src
},
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'out'),
publicPath: '',
filename: `${dst_path}.junk`,
//clean: true
}
};
};
let js_config = (dst_path, src) => { // write here how you want JS files to be build.
return {
module: {},
entry: {
main: src
},
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname),
publicPath: '',
filename: dst_path,
//clean: true
}
};
};
module.exports = build_website(website, html_config, js_config);// ./src/error/index.html
You got an error !
Error {{code}} // contents inside {{}} are evaluated.
{{let message = ''; if(error == 403) message = 'Forbidden !'; message}} // prints 'Forbidden !' if the code is 403.
<div class='message'></div>// ./src/component/index.html
<div>Hello ! I am {{name}}</div>// ./src/home/index.html
<component template='../component' name='{{name}}'></component> // use '' to surround the value.<html>
<head>
<title>{{title}}</title>
</head>
<header>My header</header>
<component template='{{page}}' __args='{{args}}'></component> // includes the page content
// __args enables to set all arguments at once.
// {{__args}} can also be used, it contains all arguments given to the page.
<footer>My footer</footer>
</html>// ./src/main.js
module.exports = {
templates_input_dir: `${__dirname}/`, // __dirname required
templates: {
__default:{ // the default template
__src: 'template',
__args: {
title: 'Error'
}
},
template2:{ // another template (optionnal)
__src: 'template',
__args: {
title: 'Home'
}
}
},
pages_input_dir: './src/', // optionnal
pages_output_dir: './dist/pages/', // optionnal
pages: {
home: { __src: 'home', __args: { name: 'Denis Migdal' }, __template: 'template2' }, // use the template2 for this page.
error_404: { __src: 'error', __args: { code: 404 } }, // use the default template
error_403: { __src: 'error', __args: { code: 403 }, __template_args: {title: 'Error 403'} }, // use the default template and override its arguments
demos: { // this is a directory
demo_1: {__src: 'demos/demo_1', _template: 'none'}, // don't use a template for this page
demo_2: {__src: 'demos/demo_2', __template: 'none',} // don't use a template for this page
}
}
};Just put a JS file named as the html file you which to preprocess.
// ./src/error/index.html.js
module.exports = {
prerender: function($, options) { // use it to modify the current html file before the components has been included.
let message = '';
if( options.code == 404 )
message = 'not found';
$('.message').text( message ); // JQuery interface.
}
render: function($, options) { // use it to modify the current html file after the components has been included.
// ...
}
};rules: [{
enforce: 'post',
test: /\.html$/,
use: {
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
outputPath: './../', // required
name: dst_path
}
}
},{
test: /\.html$/,
// put your html-loader configuration here.
// note: you may need to use extract-loader after html-loader.
},{
test: /\.html$/,
use: ['prehtml-loader'],
}]
