A CoffeeScript utility to share Hogan pre-compiled templates across server-side and client-side.
Given a directory name and an extension (optional - set as .html by default) Hoganshare will return a javascript string that declares all found templates as compiled function, saving them under window.templates
namespace.
###Installation
npm install hoganshare
###Usage with Express
In this example I assign a route to the JS template generated by Hoganshare
HoganShare = require 'hoganshare'
hoganshare = new HoganShare("/path/to/templates");
this.get("/templates.js", function (req, res) {
res.contentType(".js");
res.send(hoganshare.getTemplates());
});
All you will have to do then is including /templates.js
in your page to have your templates assigned to the window.templatess
object.
Path and filename will used as index in the templates array. E.g. partials/sidebar.html
will be saved as a function under templates['templates/partials/sidebar'].
Enjoy!
