Rosid

Add the following object to your rosidfile.json, rosidfile.js or routes array. rosid-handler-ejs will transform all matching EJS files in your source folder to HTML.

{
    "name"    : "EJS",
    "path"    : "[^_]*.{html,ejs}*",
    "handler" : "rosid-handler-ejs"
}

<!-- index.ejs -->
<h1>Hello <%= 'World' %></h1>

<!-- index.html (output) -->
<h1>Hello World</h1>

Parameters

• filePath {String} Path to file.
• opts {?Object} Options.
  • optimize {?Boolean} - Optimize output. Defaults to false.
  • data {?Object|String} - Data used to render the template. Defaults to {}.
  • localOverwrites {?Boolean} - Enable or disable custom data per file. Defaults to true.

Returns

• {Promise<String|Buffer>} The transformed file content.

Miscellaneous

Data

The data in opts.data will be used to render your template. opts.data can either be an object (the data) or a string (path to data file). rosid-handler-ejs tries to require the path when a string is specified instead of an object. The path must be absolute or relative to the current working directory.

Custom data per file

Create a file with the name filename.data.json or filename.data.js along your filename.ejs to add or overwrite data from opts.data. You can disable this behaviour with the localOverwrites option.

Environment

rosid-handler-ejs passes a variable called environment to your template. environment is prod when opts.optimize is true and dev when opts.optimize is false.
