#dust JS Resource plugin# This plugin is designed to optimize the use of .dust js files. The processing will compile specified .dust files into their .js counterparts, and place the javascript into the processing chain to be available to the other resource plugin features. The plugin uses the Resources plugin and plays nicely with both the zipped and cached resources plugins. It will also include the core of the dust library which is required to render dust templates on the client.

Installation

Add the plugin to your BuildConfig.groovy file.

plugins {
    runtime: 'dustjs-resources:0.9.3'
}

Usage

Declaring Resources

Users can explicitly define which version of dust they would like to use. The default is the latest version (uses dust-core-2.1.0 and dust-helpers-1.1.1)

modules = {
    profile {
      dependsOn 'dustjs'
      resource url: 'dust/profile/guest.dust', attrs: [rel: "javascript/dust", type: 'js'], bundle: 'bundle_profile'
    }
}

To explicitly define a particular version of the plugin use the following format:

 modules = {
      profile {
        dependsOn 'dustjs111'
        resource url: 'dust/profile/guest.dust', attrs: [rel: "javascript/dust", type: 'js'], bundle: 'bundle_profile'
      }
 }

Settings

• dependsOn: dustjs or a particular version dustjs111.
• url: location of the dust template file.
• attrs[rel]: should be set to javascript/dust for compatibility reasons.
• attrs[type]: must be js.
• bundle: must be set as will not default correctly. To add to default bundle use bundle_<module name>.

Template Names

Template names are based on the resource URL. If the URL is templates/foo.dust, then the template name will be templates/foo. Note that the .dust extension is removed.

The default path separator is /. If you want to change it, you can specify a value for templatesPathSeparator in the configuration. For example, adding

grails.resources.mappers.dustjs.templatesPathSeparator = '_'

will change the template name to templates_foo.

If you specify a value for templatesRoot in the configuration, then that value will be stripped from the template name. For example, adding

grails.resources.mappers.dustjs.templatesRoot = 'templates'

will change the template name to just foo.

Configuration

All configuration variables should be relative to:

grails.resources.mappers.dustjs

• templatesRoot: The root folder of the templates relative to web-app. This value will be stripped from template paths when calculating the template name. Default is none.
• templatesPathSeparator: The delimiter to use for template names. Default is /
