html2js, but for rails. Converts AngularJS templates to JS to store in cache, clientside.
- create an initializer:
# config/html2js.rb
Html2js.configure do |config|
config.root = "#{Rails.root}/app/assets/templates"
end- Add the templates to the javascript manifest file:
// app/assets/javascripts/application.js
// This is a manifest file that'll be compiled into application.js, which will include all the files
// listed below.
//
// Any JavaScript/Coffee file within this directory, lib/assets/javascripts, vendor/assets/javascripts,
// or vendor/assets/javascripts of plugins, if any, can be referenced here using a relative path.
//
// It's not advisable to add code directly here, but if you do, it'll appear at the bottom of the
// compiled file.
//
// WARNING: THE FIRST BLANK LINE MARKS THE END OF WHAT'S TO BE PROCESSED, ANY BLANK LINE SHOULD
// GO AFTER THE REQUIRES BELOW.
//
// require_tree .
//= require angular
//= require angular-resource
//= require_tree ../templates
//= require_tree ./angular- Place your templates in
app/assets/templates, and make sure they end in.js.tpl.haml. That's what I use, that's what I know works. It should work with just.js.tpl, but I haven't tried it. It should equally work with, ERB, for example, but I haven't tried that either.
