Compiles doT templates ready for RequireJS

Getting Started

Install this grunt plugin next to your project's grunt.js gruntfile with: npm install grunt-dot-compiler

Then add this line to your project's grunt.js gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-dot-compiler');

Example

given the following config and template

config

  dot: {
    dist: {
      options: {
        variable : 'tmpl',
        root     : __dirname + '/app/profiles'
      },
      src  : ['app/**/*.dot'],
      dest : 'app/public/templates/tmpl.js'
    }
  }

Options

  • variable String Variable to store everything
  • root String Root of the project
  • requirejs Boolean Enable RequireJS
  • node Boolean Enable Node

templates

templates/item.dot

<li>
  <a>{{=it.url}}<a>
</li>

will output the following script file

dist/tmpl.js

if( typeof define !== "function" ) {
  define = require( "amdefine" )( module )
}
define(function() {
  var tmpl=tmpl|| {};
  tmpl['item']=function anonymous(it) {
    var out='<li><a href="'+(it.url)+'"></a></li>';return out;
  }
  return tmpl;
});

Partials

You can load partials with the load command

  {{##def.partial1: load('./partial1.part') #}} // Use relative paths
  {{##def.partial2: load('test/example/partial2.part') #}} // Use options.root
  
  <div>
    {{#def.partial1}}
    {{#def.partial2}}
  </div>

New in version 0.5

Have you ever wondered if you can set customize CSS classes in partials without doing it right in a Javascript file, instead doing right on the template?

With version 0.4 you can set in-template-vars. Which means, when you load a partial you can set specific variables right in the template.

Define in-template-vars with the following syntax:

{{$ VARIABLE_NAME:DEFAULT_VALUE }}// ":DEFAULT_VALUE" is optional

For instance, in test.part:

 
<div class="{{$ some:some-var }}"></div>

Load the partial now in test.dot

{{##def.customPartial: load('./test.part', { some : 'some-css-class'}) #}}
 
{{#def.customPartial}}

And the output will be:

<div class="some-css-class"></div>

Partials-in-partials

You can now create partials in partials and Grunt-dot-compiler will do the mgic for you.
