lasso-marko-extras

Build static assets and compile Marko templates:

// Configure Lasso before using this module
require('lasso').configure({
  // ... 
});
 
require('lasso-marko-extras').build({
  baseDir: __dirname,
  files: [
    'layouts/base/favicon.ico'
    'pages/index/image.png'
  ],
  pages: [
    'pages/index',
    'pages/login',
    'pages/terms/pages/about',
    'pages/switcher/pages/faq'
  ]
});

Above script will do the following:

1. It cleanups ".cache/lasso" and "static" folders

2. Depending on configuration of Lasso, it builds, minifies, fingerprints and move all static assets to outputDir (Lasso config option) folder using lasso.lassoResource() and lasso.lassoPage().

3. It recompiles all Marko templates (*.marko) in baseDir folder using markoc compiler.

Enable console output for this module by adding the following lines at the top of the file:

require('raptor-logging').configure({
  loggers: {
    'lasso-marko-extras': 'INFO'
  }
});

This module doesn't introduce dependencies on Lasso or Marko and assumes that your project already depends on them. Check sample project that uses this module: lasso-marko-startkit

Here is the sample output:

Page tag

This module also introduces <lasso-page-json /> tag that is a wrapper around <lasso-page /> tag. This tag has no attributes.

The only difference is that <lasso-page-json /> tag reads configuration from page.json file, located in the same folder where template is located. This allows to build static assets with the same configuration options. build() function shown above reads page configuration from page.json file, if available.

In short, if you ever need to specify some attributes on lasso-page tag, specify them in page.json file and use <lasso-page-json /> without attributes.

page.json:

{
  "name": "switcher-faq",
  "cacheKey": "someUniqueKey",
  "flags": ["foo", "bar"]
}

template.marko:

<lasso-page-json />
...
