gulp-angular-relative-template-url

Allows to write angular templateUrl relative to their source directory in the form templateUrl: './my-template.html'.

Development is still in a very early stage, it works on the projects where I need it, but nothing has been consolidated yet...

Usage with generator-gulp-angular

Works well with generator-gulp-angular, if you modify the scripts task as such:

gulp.task('scripts', function () {
  return gulp.src(path.join(conf.paths.src, '/app/**/*.js'))
    .pipe($.jshint())
    .pipe($.jshint.reporter('jshint-stylish'))

    // adds the plugin and a dest for files (this is needed when no
    // preprocessors like ES6 or coffee are used with the generator)
    .pipe($.angularRelativeTemplateUrl({
      prefix: 'app/'
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(path.join(conf.paths.tmp, '/serve/app')))

    .pipe(browserSync.reload({ stream: true }))
    .pipe($.size())
});

When not using a preprocessor, we also need to rewrite the listFile() function in the karma.conf.js file in order to use the generated files instead of the original ones:

function listFiles() {
  var wiredepOptions = _.extend({}, conf.wiredep, {
    dependencies: true,
    devDependencies: true
  });

  return wiredep(wiredepOptions).js
    .concat([
      // These lines have been changed for relative-templates, from:
      //
      //     path.join(conf.paths.src, '/app/**/*.module.js'),
      //     path.join(conf.paths.src, '/app/**/*.js'),
      //     path.join(conf.paths.src, '/**/*.spec.js'),
      //     path.join(conf.paths.src, '/**/*.mock.js'),
      //
      path.join(conf.paths.tmp, '/serve/app/**/*.module.js'),
      path.join(conf.paths.tmp, '/serve/app/**/*.js'),
      path.join(conf.paths.tmp, '/**/*.spec.js'),
      path.join(conf.paths.tmp, '/**/*.mock.js'),
      // This was already there
      path.join(conf.paths.src, '/**/*.html')
    ]);
}
