`Reduce compilation time for Pug files by understanding inheritance.
Usage
`javascript
const inheritance = new PugInheritance(filePath, [baseDir, [options]]);
`$3
When a Pug template is modified, there is no way of knowing how that change has affected the rest of a project. Other files that have extended or included the modified file also need to be compiled.As a result, common practice is to compile all template files to ensure that everything is up to date. This does not bode well for rapid development since files are unnecessarily being compiled and this can take a long time on a large project or if the use of inheritance and mixins is pervasive.
$3
Use pug-inheritance to determine which files in a project extend and include modified files, and only compile those that are affected.$3
`javascript
const PugInheritance = require('pug-inheritance');
const inheritance = new PugInheritance('foo.pug', './templates');
`$3
`javascript
console.log(inheritance.tree);
`Output:
`json
{
"foo.pug": {
"extendedBy": {
"bar.pug": {
"includedBy": {
"baz.pug": {}
}
}
},
"extendedBy": {
"qux.pug": {}
}
}
}
`$3
`javascript
console.log(inheritance.files);
`Output:
`json
[
"foo.pug",
"bar.pug",
"baz.pug",
"qux.pug"
]
`$3
-
options.basedir = 'app' Defines the root, from where pug-inheritance starts to scan for all
*.pug files in all existing folders within the basedir.
`javascript
var options {
basedir: 'app'
}
` -
options.skip = 'node_modules' If you are using the root folder
options.basedir = '.' to process your *.pug files, you have to skip node_modules. Because of dependant PUG-packages which may contain test files, that may cause errors during the compile.
This option accepts a string or an array.
`javascript
var options {
// as string
skip: 'node_modules',
// or as array
skip: ['node_modules', 'some_other_folder']
}
`
If you want to set this global, you are able set this option also into your package.json. But watch out, this will be overwritten by setting this option directly to the pug-inheritance object.
`JSON
{
"skipInheritances": [
"node_modules"
]
}
