Swig template compiler for Gulp

Overview

Gulp-Swig is a powerful templating engine built for use with Gulp, enabling seamless integration of template rendering into your build process. Designed for developers who want to leverage the flexibility of Swig templates, this tool emphasizes efficiency and ease of use. With its various features, users can easily compile templates into HTML and manage data injection effectively, streamlining workflows for web projects.

Features

  • Data Injection: The new gulp-data plugin allows you to inject data directly into your templates, creating a more dynamic and flexible environment for template rendering.

  • Variable Management: You can inject variables both from a JavaScript data object and from JSON files, ensuring that your templates have access to all necessary data seamlessly.

  • File Location Flexibility: By default, gulp-swig searches for JSON files in the same directory as your templates, but it also allows you to specify custom paths for data sources.

  • Default Settings: Use the Swig::setDefaults method to easily set up default variables and configurations for your templates, enhancing consistency across your project.

  • Swig Extensions: Enable various Swig extensions using the setup option to expand functionality and tailor the templating process to your specific needs.

  • No Caching with BrowserSync: Avoid caching issues while watching and compiling using BrowserSync, ensuring that you always see the latest changes reflected in your templates.

  • Open Source License: The software is released under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, and distribution to encourage a collaborative development environment.
