Package Exports

broccoli-replace

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (broccoli-replace) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

broccoli-replace

Replace text patterns with a given replacement using pattern-replace

Getting Started

npm install broccoli-replace --save-dev

Replace Filter

Options

files

Type: Array Default: []

Define the source files that will be used for replacements.

This is a mandatory value, an empty definition will ignore any kind of replacement.

patterns

Type: Array

Define patterns that will be used to replace the contents of source files.

Check out pattern-replace documentation for more details.

variables

Type: Object

This is the old way to define patterns using plain object (simple variable lookup mechanism and no regexp support), you can still using but for more control you should use the new patterns way.

Check out pattern-replace documentation for more details.

prefix

Type: String Default: @@

The prefix added for matching (prevent bad replacements / easy way).

Check out pattern-replace documentation for more details.

usePrefix

Type: Boolean Default: true

If set to false, we match the pattern without prefix concatenation. It was useful when you want to lookup an simple string.

Check out pattern-replace documentation for more details.

preservePrefix

Type: Boolean Default: false

If set to true, we preserve the prefix in target.

Check out pattern-replace documentation for more details.

delimiter

Type: String Default: .

The delimiter used to flatten when using object as replacement.

Check out pattern-replace documentation for more details.

Usage Examples

Basic

File src/manifest.appcache:

CACHE MANIFEST
# @@timestamp

CACHE:

favicon.ico
index.html

NETWORK:
*

Brocfile, define pattern (for timestamp) and the source files for lookup:

module.exports = function (broccoli) {
  var replace = require('broccoli-replace');
  var srcFiles = broccoli.makeTree('src');
  srcFiles = replace(srcFiles, {
    files: [
      'manifest.appcache'
    ],
    patterns: [
      {
        match: 'timestamp',
        replacement: new Date().getTime()
      }
    ]
  });
  return [srcFiles];
};

Multiple matching

File src/manifest.appcache:

CACHE MANIFEST
# @@timestamp

CACHE:

favicon.ico
index.html

NETWORK:
*

File src/humans.txt:

              __     _
   _    _/__  /./|,//_`
  /_//_// /_|///  //_, outaTiME v.@@version

Brocfile:

module.exports = function (broccoli) {
  var pkg = require('./package.json');
  var replace = require('broccoli-replace');
  var srcFiles = broccoli.makeTree('src');
  srcFiles = replace(srcFiles, {
    files: [

      'humans.txt'
    ],
    patterns: [
      {
        match: 'version',
        replacement: pkg.version
      },
      {
        match: 'timestamp',
        replacement: new Date().getTime()
      }
    ]
  });
  return [srcFiles];
};

Cache busting

File src/index.html:

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css?rel=@@timestamp">
  <script src="/js/app.js?rel=@@timestamp"></script>
</head>

Brocfile:

module.exports = function (broccoli) {
  var replace = require('broccoli-replace');
  var srcFiles = broccoli.makeTree('src');
  srcFiles = replace(srcFiles, {
    files: [
      '**/*.html'
    ],
    patterns: [
      {
        match: 'timestamp',
        replacement: new Date().getTime()
      }
    ]
  });
  return [srcFiles];
};

Include file

File src/index.html:

<body>
  @@include
</body>

Brocfile:

module.exports = function (broccoli) {
  var fs = require('fs');
  var replace = require('broccoli-replace');
  var srcFiles = broccoli.makeTree('src');
  srcFiles = replace(srcFiles, {
    files: [
      '**/*.html'
    ],
    patterns: [
      {
        match: 'include',
        replacement: fs.readFileSync('./includes/content.html').toString()
      }
    ]
  });
  return [srcFiles];
};

Regular expression

File src/username.txt:

John Smith

Brocfile:

module.exports = function (broccoli) {
  var replace = require('broccoli-replace');
  var srcFiles = broccoli.makeTree('src');
  srcFiles = replace(srcFiles, {
    files: [
      'username.txt'
    ],
    patterns: [
      {
        match: /(\w+)\s(\w+)/,
        replacement: '$2, $1' // replaces "John Smith" to "Smith, John"
      }
    ]
  });
  return [srcFiles];
};

Lookup for `foo` instead of `@@foo`

The String matching type or expression in false generates a simple variable lookup mechanism @@string, to skip this mode use one of the below rules ... make your choice:

Brocfile:

// option 1 (explicitly using an regexp)
module.exports = function (broccoli) {
  var replace = require('broccoli-replace');
  var srcFiles = broccoli.makeTree('src');
  srcFiles = replace(srcFiles, {
    files: [
      'foo.txt'
    ],
    patterns: [
      {
        match: /foo/g,
        replacement: 'bar'
      }
    ]
  });
  return [srcFiles];
};

// option 2 (easy way)
module.exports = function (broccoli) {
  var replace = require('broccoli-replace');
  var srcFiles = broccoli.makeTree('src');
  srcFiles = replace(srcFiles, {
    files: [
      'foo.txt'
    ],
    patterns: [
      {
        match: 'foo',
        replacement: 'bar'
      }
    ],
    usePrefix: false
  });
  return [srcFiles];
};

// option 3 (old way)
module.exports = function (broccoli) {
  var replace = require('broccoli-replace');
  var srcFiles = broccoli.makeTree('src');
  srcFiles = replace(srcFiles, {
    files: [
      'foo.txt'
    ],
    patterns: [
      {
        match: 'foo',
        replacement: 'bar'
      }
    ],
    prefix: '' // remove prefix
  });
  return [srcFiles];
};
