ect-loader

ect templates compiler for webpack

Motivation

ectjs is one of the fastest templating libraries out there, but not so well known by the community.

As there wasn't a loader for webpack, I've decided to build one before going to bed. Here it is, show your apretiation by starring the project, tweeting and enjoy using it.

Installation

npm i --save-dev ect-loader

Usage

Documentation: Using loaders

Example config

This webpack config can compile ect templates for you to use on your browser without having to load ECT and CoffeeScript browser versions.

module.exports = {
  module: {
    loaders: [
      { test: /\.ect$/, loader: "ect" }
    ]
  }
};

Minification

This loader minifies template before compiling in case you're running with performance enhancment option (webpack -p).

It works by cutting off spaces between HTML tags and line-breaks.

Source Example

<div id="testing">
    <%- __ "Read the docs" %>
</div>

Minified output

<div id="testing"> Lê a documentação </div>
