grunt-contrib-jade Build Status

Compile Jade files to HTML.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-contrib-jade --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jade');

This plugin was designed to work with Grunt 0.4.x. If you're still using grunt v0.3.x it's strongly recommended that you upgrade, but in case you can't please use v0.3.1.

Jade task

Run this task with the grunt jade command.

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.

Options

pretty

Type: Boolean Default: false

Output indented HTML.

data

Type: Object

Sets the data passed to jade during template compilation. Any data can be passed to the template (including grunt templates).

compileDebug

Type: Boolean

Set compileDebug: fase to remove jade debug instructions in javascript templates.

client

Type: Boolean

Compile to JS template functions for client-side use rather than directly to HTML.

namespace

Type: String false Default: 'JST'

The namespace in which the precompiled templates will be assigned. Use dot notation (e.g. App.Templates) for nested namespaces or false for no namespace wrapping. When false with amd option set true, templates will be returned directly from the AMD wrapper.

Example:

options: {
  namespace: 'MyApp.Templates'
}

amd

Type: Boolean default: false

Wraps the output file with an AMD define function and returns the compiled template namespace unless namespace has been explicitly set to false in which case the template function will be returned directly.

define(function() {
    //...//
    returns this['[template namespace]'];
});

processName

Type: function

This option accepts a function which takes one argument (the template filepath) and returns a string which will be used as the key for the precompiled template object. The example below stores all templates on the default JST namespace in capital letters.

options: {
  processName: function(filename) {
    return filename.toUpperCase();
  }
}

Usage Examples

jade: {
  compile: {
    options: {
      data: {
        debug: false
      }
    },
    files: {
      "path/to/dest.html": ["path/to/templates/*.jade", "another/path/tmpl.jade"]
    }
  }
}

If you want to generate a debug file and a release file from the same template:

jade: {
  debug: {
    options: {
      data: {
        debug: true
      }
    },
    files: {
      "debug.html": "test.jade"
    }
  },
  release: {
    options: {
      data: {
        debug: false
      }
    },
    files: {
      "release.html": "test.jade"
    }
  }
}

If you want to use grunt template in options.data:

jade: {
  debug: {
    options: {
      data: {
        debug: true,
        timestamp: "<%= new Date().getTime() %>"
      }
    },
    files: {
      "debug.html": "test.jade"
    }
  }
}

or you can use grunt helpers (grunt object was exposed at template context):

jade: {
  debug: {
    options: {
      data: {
        debug: true,
        timestamp: "<%= grunt.template.today() %>"
      }
    },
    files: {
      "debug.html": "test.jade"
    }
  }
}
