useref

Parse build blocks in HTML files to replace references

Extracted from the grunt plugin grunt-useref.

Installation

npm install useref

Usage

var useref = require('useref');
var result = useref(inputHtml);
// result = [ replacedHtml, { type: { path: { 'assets': [ replacedFiles] }}} ]

Blocks are expressed as:

<!-- build:<type>(alternate search path) <path> <parameters> -->
... HTML Markup, list of script / link tags.
<!-- endbuild -->

type: either js, css or remove
alternate search path: (optional) By default the input files are relative to the treated file. Alternate search path allows one to change that
path: the file path of the optimized file, the target output
parameters: extra parameters that should be added to the tag. By default rel="stylesheet" attribute is added to css link tag, your can overwrite it by passing your own rel parameter, e.g. rel="preload"

An example of this in completed form can be seen below:

<html>
<head>
  <!-- build:css css/combined.css -->
  <link href="css/one.css" rel="stylesheet">
  <link href="css/two.css" rel="stylesheet">
  <!-- endbuild -->
</head>
<body>
  <!-- build:js scripts/combined.js -->
  <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/one.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/two.js"></script>
  <!-- endbuild -->

  <!-- build:js scripts/async.js async data-foo="bar" -->
  <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/three.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/four.js"></script>
  <!-- endbuild -->
</body>
</html>

The module would be used with the above sample HTML as follows:

var result = useref(sampleHtml);

// [
//   resultHtml,
//   {
//     css: {
//       'css/combined.css': {
//         'assets': [ 'css/one.css', 'css/two.css' ]
//       }
//     },
//     js: {
//       'scripts/combined.js': {
//         'assets': [ 'scripts/one.js', 'scripts/two.js' ]
//       },
//       'scripts/async.js': {
//          'assets': [ 'scripts/three.js', 'scripts/four.js' ]
//        }
//     }
//   }
// ]

The resulting HTML would be:

<html>
<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/combined.css"/>
</head>
<body>
  <script src="scripts/combined.js"></script>
  <script src="scripts/async.js" async data-foo="bar" ></script>
</body>
</html>

IE Conditional Comments

Internet Explorer Conditional Comments are preserved. The code below:

<!-- build:js scripts/combined.js   -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/this.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/that.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<!-- endbuild -->

Results in:

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="scripts/combined.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

Custom blocks

Sometimes you need a bit more. If you would like to do custom processing, this is possible with a custom block, as demonstrated below.

<!-- build:import components -->
<link rel="import" href="/bower_components/some/path"></link>
<!-- endbuild -->

With

var useref = require('useref');
var result = useref(inputHtml, {
  // each property corresponds to any blocks with the same name, e.g. "build:import"
  import: function (content, target, options, alternateSearchPath) {
    // do something with `content` and return the desired HTML to replace the block content
    return content.replace('bower_components', target);
  }
});

Becomes

<link rel="import" href="/components/some/path"></link>

The handler function gets the following arguments:

content (String): The content of the custom use block
target (String): The "path" value of the use block definition
options (String): The extra attributes from the use block definition, the developer can parse as JSON or do whatever they want with it
alternateSearchPath (String): The alternate search path that can be used to maintain a coherent interface with standard handlers

Include a handler for each custom block type.

Symfony Twig and Laravel 5 Blade assets

Works with the symfony2 assetic and laravel asset and elixir links in twig or blade or html or php.

<!-- build:js scripts/combined.js -->
<script src="{{ asset('symfony/js/script.js') }}"></script>
<script src="{{ elixir('laravel/js/script.js') }}"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->

Options

options.noconcat

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Strips out build comments but leaves the rest of the block intact without replacing any tags.

<!-- build:js scripts/combined.js   -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/this.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/that.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->

Results in:

<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/this.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/that.js"></script>
