grunt-freemarker

Freemarker renderer plugin for grunt.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.2

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-freemarker --save-dev

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

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-freemarker');

The "freemarker" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named freemarker to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  freemarker: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

Type: String Default value: views

The folder where all views in.

options.out

Usage Examples

The view and dest file defined in mocks/simple.js:

module.exports = {
  view: "/simple.ftl",
  out: "/simple.html",
  data: {
    name: "ijse"
  }
};

and views/simple.ftl:

Then, the result would be public/simple.html:

grunt.initConfig({

    options: {},
    src: "mocks/*.js"
  },

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.
