Information

Package	gulp-jade
Description	Compile Jade templates
Node Version	≥ 0.10

Usage

Compile to HTML

var jade = require('gulp-jade');

gulp.task('templates', function() {
  var YOUR_LOCALS = {};

  gulp.src('./lib/*.jade')
    .pipe(jade({
      locals: YOUR_LOCALS
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'))
});

Compile to JS

var jade = require('gulp-jade');

gulp.task('templates', function() {
  gulp.src('./lib/*.jade')
    .pipe(jade({
      client: true
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'))
});

Options

All options supported by the Jade API are supported

Note: filename option is taken from path property of incoming vinyl-file object. If you want to change it, use gulp-rename before gulp-jade with desired path.

In addition, you can pass in a locals or data option that will be used as locals for your HTML compilation. The locals option takes precedence over the data option, and both are overwritten by data on the vinyl file object (See "Use with gulp-data" below).

If you want to use a different version of jade, or define jade filters, you can pass your own instance of jade as the jade option:

var jade = require('jade');
var gulpJade = require('gulp-jade');
var katex = require('katex');

jade.filters.katex = katex.renderToString;
jade.filters.shoutFilter = function (str) {
  return str + '!!!!';
}

gulp.task('jade', function () {
  return gulp.src('public/**/*.jade')
    .pipe(gulpJade({
      jade: jade,
      pretty: true
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('public/'))
})

Use with gulp-data

The gulp-data plugin, is a standard method for piping data down-stream to other plugins that need data in the form of a new file property file.data. If you have data from a JSON file, front-matter, a database, or anything really, use gulp-data to pass that data to gulp-jade.

Retrieve data from a JSON file, keyed on file name:

gulp.task('json-test', function() {
  return gulp.src('./examples/test1.jade')
    .pipe(data(function(file) {
      return require('./examples/' + path.basename(file.path) + '.json');
    }))
    .pipe(jade())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});

Since gulp-data provides a callback, it means you can get data from a database query as well:

gulp.task('db-test', function() {
  return gulp.src('./examples/test3.jade')
    .pipe(data(function(file, cb) {
      MongoClient.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/gulp-data-test', function(err, db) {
        if(err) return cb(err);
        cb(undefined, db.collection('file-data-test').findOne({filename: path.basename(file.path)}));
      });
    }))
    .pipe(jade())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});

If you want to use some static locals and some dynamic using gulp-data, the static locals will be overridden. Instead, you can extend in the gulp-data function:

var _ = require('lodash');

var statics = {
  my: 'statics',
  foo: 'bar'
};

gulp.task('json-test', function() {
  return gulp.src('./examples/test1.jade')
    .pipe(data(function(file) {
      var json = require('./examples/' + path.basename(file.path) + '.json');
      var data = _.assign({}, json, statics);
      return data;
    }))
    .pipe(jade())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});

AMD

If you are trying to wrap your Jade template functions in an AMD wrapper, use gulp-wrap-amd

var jade = require('gulp-jade');
var wrap = require('gulp-wrap-amd');

gulp.task('templates', function() {
  gulp.src('./lib/*.jade')
    .pipe(jade({
      client: true
    }))
    .pipe(wrap({
      deps: ['jade'],
      params: ['jade']
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'))
});
