codevault-cli

CodeVault CLI to generate static files

Installation

npm i -D codevault-cli # local
npm i -g codevault-cli # global

Usage

codevault <file|glob> [context] [options]

For convenience, process.env object is added to the context as env.

Basic examples

codevault foo.tpl context.json

Compiles foo.tpl to foo.sql with context data from context.json (and variables from process.env as env).

codevault **/*.tpl

Compiles all .tpl files (including subdirectories), except the ones starting by _ (so you can use them as layouts).

Options

--path <directory>

-p <directory>

Path where the templates live. Default to the current working directory.

--out <directory>

-o <directory>

Output directory.

--watch

-w

Allows to keep track of file changes and render accordingly (except files starting by _).

--extension <ext>

-e <ext>

Extension for rendered files. Defaults to sql.

--options <file>

-O <file>

Takes a json file as codevault render options. Defaults are:

trimBlocks: true,
lstripBlocks: true,
noCache: true,
autoescape: true

Advanced examples

codevault foo.tpl -p src -o out -O render.json

Compiles src/foo.tpl to out/foo.sql, with render.json as codevault render options.

codevault *.tpl context.json -w -p src

Compiles all .tpl files (except ones starting with _) in the src folder to the current working directory, with context.json as context, and keeps running in the background for files changes.

Configuration

Environment settings

You can create .env file in the project root folder to define project specific environment settings.

Default context file

If context file is not specified in command line then use the following:

If NODE_ENV environment attribute is set to production then take context.json file in the project root folder. Otherwise take local.context.json file.
