grunt-angular-templates

Grunt build task to concatenate & register your AngularJS templates in the $templateCache

NOTE:

• Use 0.1.x for Grunt 0.3.x.
• Use 0.2.x or 0.3.x for Grunt 0.4.x.

Getting Started

Install this grunt plugin next to your project's grunt.js gruntfile with: npm install grunt-angular-templates

Then add this line to your project's grunt.js gruntfile:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-angular-templates');

Documentation

This plugin provides the grunt task ngtemplates, which will allow you to compile your HTML templates into a single JS file, which preloads $templateCache to prevent round-trips to the server.

Update Grunt

// grunt.js
grunt.initConfig({
  ngtemplates:    {
    myapp:        {
      options:    {
        base:     'src/views',        // $templateCache ID will be relative to this folder
        prepend:  '/static/assets/'   // (Optional) Prepend path to $templateCache ID
      },
      src:        [ 'src/views/**.html' ],
      dest:       'dist/templates.js'
    }
  }
});

You should name your sub-target (e.g. myapp) after the name of the module the templates will be added to.

This will generate the following at dist/templates.js:

angular.module('myapp').run(['$templateCache', function($templateCache) {
  ...
}]);

Include Compiled Templates

This can either be done via HTML:

<script src="dist/templates.js"></script>

or via your Gruntfile:

concat: {
  myapp: {
    src: [
      'src/js/**/*.js',       // MyApp module first
      '<%= ngtemplates.myapp.dest %>' // Generated templates
    ],
    dest: 'dist/js/app.js'
  }
}
