Inline Angular2 HTML and CSS files into JavaScript ES5/ES6 and TypeScript files (and possibly more - not tested).
This plugin uses the ES6 template strings syntax by default (which requires the use of a transpiler -typescript, babel, traceur- to produce valid ES5 files) but you can opt-in for ES5 one.
Very convenient to unit test your component or bundle your components/application (avoid extra HTTP request and keeps your source clean).
By aggressively inlining templates, component library authors can ensure that their library is
compatible with all deployment methods (SystemJS, Webpack, etc.) and avoid problems associated
with setting Component.moduleId
on published components.
note:
- 4.0.0 -
- Now escapes templates (html & css) backslashes. You may remove your custom workarounds if any
- Proper error handling and propagation
- 3.0.0 - Breaking changes
- Change processor function signature
- 2.0.0 - Breaking changes
- Refactor the parser and make it async
templateProcessor
andstyleProcessor
now accept a callback as 3rd argument- If you're not using the processor functions, everything will work as in 1.x.
- 1.1.5 adds
customFilePath
option - 1.1.4 adds
supportNonExistentFiles
option - 1.1.0 adds templateFunction when templateUrl is a function
- 1.0.0 - Breaking changes
- Add suppport for processors (templates & styles)
- Refactor configuration object (
html
andcss
prop dropped) - Drop jade dependency and related config
- 0.0.11 adds option to remove line breaks
- 0.0.10 adds components relative asset paths support (see Configuration)
- 0.0.8 adds Jade support (add
jade: true
to your config) => dropped in 1.0.0 - 0.0.6 adds support to style sheets

You can pass a configuration object to the plugin.

Minify template file before inlining them
import inlineTemplate from 'gulp-inline-ng2-template';
import htmlMinifier from 'html-minifier';
const pluginOptions = {
base: mySrcPath,
templateProcessor: minifyTemplate
};
function minifyTemplate(path, ext, file, cb) {
try {
var minifiedFile = htmlMinifier.minify(file, {
collapseWhitespace: true,
caseSensitive: true,
removeComments: true,
removeRedundantAttributes: true
});
cb(null, minifiedFile);
}
catch (err) {
cb(err);
}
}

Inside your component: templateUrl: templateFunc('app.html')
/**
* Template function call signature and type return
*
* @Param{String} filename
* @Return{String} returned filename
*/
templateFunction: function (filename) {
// ...
return newFilename;
}
/**
* Custom function name call signature and type return
*
* @Param{String} file extension (type)
* @Param{String} file path
* @Return{String} returned file path updated
*/
function customFilePath(ext, file) {
return file;
}
//...
var inlineNg2Template = require('gulp-inline-ng2-template');
var result = gulp.src('./app/**/*.ts')
.pipe(inlineNg2Template({ base: '/app' }))
.pipe(tsc());
return result.js
.pipe(gulp.dest(PATH.dest));
Example transform function to use with Browserify.
// ng2inlinetransform.js
var ng2TemplateParser = require('gulp-inline-ng2-template/parser');
var through = require('through2');
var options = {target: 'es5'};
function (file) {
return through(function (buf, enc, next){
ng2TemplateParser({contents: buf, path: file}, options)((err, result) => {
this.push(result);
process.nextTick(next);
});
});
}
// gulp task
return browserify('main.ts', {} )
.add(config.angularApp.additionalFiles)
.plugin(require('tsify'), {target: 'es5'})
.transform('./ng2inlinetransform')
.bundle()
.pipe(gulp.dest(config.rootDirectory))
