Usage

Compile

1import gulp from 'gulp';
2import {nunjucksCompile} from 'gulp-nunjucks';

5export default () => (
6	gulp.src('templates/greeting.html')
7		.pipe(data(() => ({name: 'Sindre'})))
8		.pipe(nunjucksCompile())
9		.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
10);

2import {nunjucksPrecompile} from 'gulp-nunjucks';

API

nunjucksCompile(data?, options?)

Compile a template using the provided data.

data

Type: object

The data object used to populate the text.

options

Type: object

Options will be passed directly to the Nunjucks Environment constructor which will be used to compile templates.

options.env

Type: nunjucks.Environment
Default: new nunjucks.Environment()

The custom Nunjucks Environment object which will be used to compile templates. If supplied, the rest of options will be ignored.

options.filters

Type: object

An object containing custom filters that will be passed to Nunjucks, with the filter's name as key and the filter function as value.

Async filters should be defined as async functions. You cannot use just a promise-returning function.

1{
2	'shorten': string => string.slice(0, 5),
3	'round': number => Math.round(number),
4	'fetch': async url => {
5		const response = await fetch(url);
6		const result = await response.text();
7		return result;
8	}
9}

nunjucksPrecompile(options?)

Precompile a template for rendering dynamically at a later time.

Same options as nunjucks.precompile() except for name.

options

Type: object

name

Type: Function
Default: Relative template path
Example: templates/list.html

You can override the default behavior by supplying a function which gets the current File object and is expected to return the name.

Example:

1{
2	name: file => `template-${file.relative}`
3}
