A webpack plug-in to precompile handlebar templates directories into concatenated files
npm install precompile-handlebarsA webpack plug-in to precompile handlebar templates directories into concatenated files.
Migrating from grunt-based bundling to webpack-based bundling often causes issues converting
a bunch of tasks from the the grunt way of doing things to a new one.
One of these tasks is precompilation of handlbars templates. Most webpack handlebars packages let you load and compile templates
only at runtime as part of your webpack.config.js loaders section.
However, for those interested in precompiling their templates and concatenate them to a single file there is
no easy solution.
The __precompile-handlebars__ plug-in for webpack leverages the handlebars package by reading through a directory containing
handlebar templates to create a single, precompiled handlebars js file.
npm install precompile-handlebars --save-dev
You can provide an object or an array of objects containing the following precompilation directives:
* inputDir - the directory where the handlebars templates reside
* outputFile - the output file name of concatenated precompiled templates
#### Partials
Template files names that are prefixed with an underscore are treated as partials (i.e., _partial1.handlebars).
``javascript
var webpack = require('webpack');
var HandlebarsPlugin = require('precompile-handlebars');
module.exports = {
...
plugins: [
new HandlebarsPlugin([
{
inputDir: "templates",
outputFile: "output/compiled-templates.js"
},
{
inputDir: "my-other-templates",
outputFile: "output/my-other-compiled-templates.js"
}
])
],
}
