grunt-slim

Compile Slim to HTML

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-slim --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-slim');

Slim task

Run this task with the grunt slim command.

This task requires you to have Ruby and Slim. If you're on OS X or Linux you probably already have Ruby installed, try ruby -v in your terminal. When you've confirmed you have Ruby installed, run gem install slim to install Slim.

Examples

Example config

grunt.initConfig({
  slim: {                              // Task
    dist: {                            // Target
      files: {                         // Dictionary of files
        'index.html': 'index.slim',     // 'destination': 'source'
        'sidebar.html': 'sidebar.slim'
      }
    },
    dev: {                             // Another target
      options: {                       // Target options
        pretty: true
      },
      files: {
        'index.html': 'index.slim',
        'page.html': [
          'header.html',
          'body.html',
          'footer.html'  // Maybe you need one extra file in dev
        ]
      }
    }
  }
});

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-slim');

grunt.registerTask('default', ['jshint', 'slim']);

Compile

grunt.initConfig({
  slim: {
    dist: {
      files: {
        'index.html': 'index.slim'
      }
    }
  }
});

Concat and compile

If you specify an array of src paths they will be concatenated. However, in most cases you would want to just render them into index.slim.

grunt.initConfig({
  slim: {
    dist: {
      files: {
      'index.html': [
          'header.html',
          'content.html'
        ]
      }
    }
  }
});

Compile multiple files

You can specify multiple destination: source items in files.

grunt.initConfig({
  slim: {
    dist: {
      files: {
        'index.css': 'index.slim',
        'sidebar.html': 'sidebar.slim'
      }
    }
  }
});

Globbing Files

You can specify an entire directory of files that should get compiled into individual files with the specified extension. Example: if path/to contained a.slim and b.slim, the following target would generate these files in path/to/dest: a.html and b.html.

grunt.initConfig({
  slim: {
    dist: {
      files: [{
        expand: true,
        cwd: 'path/to',
        src: ['{,*/}*.slim'],
        dest: 'path/to/dest',
        ext: '.html'
      }]
    }
  }
}
