Usage

In addition to what's shown in the below examples, if a glob pattern or valid filepath is passed, a stat object will be added to the file object as well.

const Loader = require('load-templates');
const loader = new Loader([options]);
const files = loader.load('*.hbs');
console.log(files); //<= object of vinyl files

Supported formats

// filepath
loader.load('a/b/c/some-template.hbs'); 

// array of filepaths
loader.load([
  'a/b/c/some-template.hbs',
  'a/b/c/other-template.hbs'
]); 

// glob pattern
loader.load('*.hbs'); 

// array of globs
loader.load(['*.hbs', '*.tmpl']); 

// object
loader.load({path: 'foo'});

// key-value 
loader.load('d', {path: 'd'});
loader.load('e', {path: 'e'});
loader.load('f', {path: 'f'});

// object of objects
loader.load({
  a: {path: 'a'},
  b: {path: 'b'},
  c: {path: 'c'}
});

// array of objects
loader.load([
  {path: 'a'},
  {path: 'b'},
  {path: 'c'}
]);

// array of nested objects
loader.load([
  {
    a: {path: 'test/fixtures/a.md'},
    b: {path: 'test/fixtures/b.md'},
    c: {path: 'test/fixtures/c.md'},
  },
  {
    d: {path: 'test/fixtures/d.md'},
    e: {path: 'test/fixtures/e.md'},
    f: {path: 'test/fixtures/f.md'},
  }
]);

Options

options.cwd

Type: String

Default: process.cwd()

Pass the current working directory to use for resolving paths.

options.renameKey

Type: Function

Default: file.path The path that was given or globbed when the file was created.

Function to modify file.key, which is the property used for setting files on loader.cache.

Example

const loader = new Loader({ renameKey: file => file.basename });

This is functionally equivalent to:

loader.cache[file.basename] = file;

options.onLoad

Type: Function

Default: undefined

Function to run on each file before it's added to the cache.

const loader = new Loader({ 
  onLoad: file => {
    // optionally return a new file, or just modify properties 
  }
});

API

Loader

Create an instance of Loader with the given options.

Params

Example

const Loader = require('load-templates');
const loader = new Loader();

.load

Load one or more templates from a filepath, glob pattern, object, or array of filepaths, glob patterns or objects. This method detects the type of value to be handled then calls one of the other methods to do the actual loading.

Params

Example

const loader = new Loader();
console.log(loader.load(['foo/*.hbs', 'bar/*.hbs']));
console.log(loader.load({path: 'a/b/c.md'}));
console.log(loader.load('index', {path: 'a/b/c.md'}));

.addView

Create a view from the given template and cache it on loader.cache.

Params

Example

const loader = new Loader();
loader.addView('foo.hbs');
console.log(loader.cache);

.addViews

Create from an array or object of templates and cache them on loader.cache.

Params

Example

const loader = new Loader();
loader.addViews([
  {path: 'test/fixtures/a.md'},
  {path: 'test/fixtures/b.md'},
  {path: 'test/fixtures/c.md'},
]);
loader.addViews({
  d: {path: 'test/fixtures/d.md'},
  e: {path: 'test/fixtures/e.md'},
  f: {path: 'test/fixtures/f.md'},
});
loader.addViews([{
  g: {path: 'test/fixtures/g.md'},
  h: {path: 'test/fixtures/h.md'},
  i: {path: 'test/fixtures/i.md'},
}]);
console.log(loader.cache);

.createView

Create a view object from the given template. View objects are instances of vinyl.

Params

Example

console.log(loader.createView('test/fixtures/foo/bar.hbs'));
console.log(loader.createView('foo/bar.hbs', {cwd: 'test/fixtures'}));

.globViews

Load templates from one or more glob patterns with the given options, then cache them on loader.cache.

Params

Example

const loader = new Loader();
const views = loader.globViews('*.hbs', {cwd: 'templates'});
