Wraps templates with layouts. Layouts can use other layouts and be nested to any depth. This can be used 100% standalone to wrap any kind of file with banners, headers or footer content. Use for markdown, HTML, handlebars views, lo-dash templates, etc. Layouts can also be vinyl files.

Package Exports

  • layouts

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 (layouts) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

layouts NPM version Build Status

Wraps templates with layouts. Layouts can use other layouts and be nested to any depth. This can be used 100% standalone to wrap any kind of file with banners, headers or footer content. Use for markdown, HTML, handlebars views, lo-dash templates, etc. Layouts can also be vinyl files.

Install

Install with npm

$ npm i layouts --save

Usage

var renderLayouts = require('layouts');

Examples

Basic example

In this example, two layouts are used:

  • the first layout, one, will wrap the string
  • the second layout, two, will wrap the first layout
var layouts = {
  one: {content: 'one before\n{% body %}\none after', layout: 'two'},
  two: {content: 'two before\n{% body %}\ntwo after'},
};

// `one` is the name of the first layout to use on the provided string
renderLayouts('<div>Wrap me with a layout!!!</div>', 'one', layouts);

Results in:

two before
one before
<div>Wrap me with a layout!!!</div>
one after
two after

HTML

This example shows how to use nested HTML layouts to wrap content:

var layouts = {};

layouts.base = {
  content: [
    '<!DOCTYPE html>',
    '<html lang="en">',
    '  <head>',
    '    <meta charset="UTF-8">',
    '    <title>Home</title>',
    '  </head>',
    '  <body>',
    '    {% body %}',
    '  </body>',
    '</html>',
  ].join('\n')
};

// this `nav` layout will be wrapped with the `base` layout
layouts.nav = {
  layout: 'base',
  content: '<nav>\n{% body %}\n</nav>'
};

// this string will be wrapped with the `nav` layout
var str = [
  '<ul class="categories">',
  '  <li class="active"> <a href="#"> Development </a> </li>',
  '  <li> <a href="#"> Design </a> </li>',
  '  <li> <a href="#"> Node.js </a> </li>',
  '</ul>'
].join('\n')

// `nav` is the name of the layout to use
renderLayouts(str, nav, layouts);

Results in something like:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Home</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <nav>
      <ul class="categories">
        <li class="active"> <a href="#"> Development </a> </li>
        <li> <a href="#"> Design </a> </li>
        <li> <a href="#"> Node.js </a> </li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
  </body>
</html>

Customization

By default, {% body %} is used as the placeholder (insertion point) for content, but this can easily be customized with the following options:

  • layoutDelims: the delimiters to use. This can be a regex, like /\{{([^}]+)\}}/, or an array of delimiter strings, like ['{{', '}}']
  • tag: the name of the placeholder tag.
