$ npm install tarima --save-devTarima is a pre-processing tool based on filename extensions.
Lets say view.js.pug will produce a pre-compiled Pug template, which is rendered from pug, etc.
If you omit the js extension then view.pug will produce markup, since html is the default extension for the Pug engine.
You can add as many extensions you want, whilst the output is valid input for the next renderer in the chain.
load(filename, options) — Shortcut for calling parse() from reading the given filename with fs.readFileSync().
See below. ↓
parse(filename, source, options) — Primary method for turning the given source into a abstract representation of itself.
The filename is required but not required to exists, is just a hint for tarima to understand what to do with it.
The resulting object will contain a render() callback and params object, respectively:
-
view.render(locals, callback)— Performs the transpilation on the given source, producing a new source. -
view.params— An object like:
{
"filename": "view.js.pug",
"options": {}, // passed options to the factory
"source": "<x>y</x>",
"parts": ["js", "pug"],
"name": "view",
"data": {}, // any data passed as front-matter
"deps": [], // all imported-or-required sources
"locals": {}, // values passed from the callback
"isScript": false, // true for all exported modules
}Example:
const tarima = require('tarima');
const view = tarima.parse('view.rv.pug', 'x {{"y"}}');
// direct
view.render((err, result) => {
console.log(err, result);
});view.bundle(locals, callback) — Performs the transpilation on the given source, and turn it into a new module.
Example:
// bundled
view.bundle(locals, (err, result) => {
console.log(err, result);
});cwd— Save all file paths relative to this directorycache— Cache object being used by Rollup.jsrollup— Configuration object used by Rollup.js
You can enable specific settings as:
# from settings
{
"bundleOptions": {
"buble": {},
}
}All parsed files can use a front-matter block for local data.
//-
---
title: Untitled
$render: other/layout.hbs
extended: !include ../path/to.yml
---
h1= title + extended.some.valueNote you can merge additional files using the !include directive within any front-matter block.
Tarima use some predefined keys in order to customize certain aspects of rendering, transpilation or bundling individually:
$unpkg— Resolve allimportstatements throughhttps://unpkg.com/path/to?moduleURLs$nofiles— If enabled, will not copy from publishedfileson any imported package (use withmodules)$modules— If enabled, will resolve external packages asweb_modulesand copy its contents forimportusage$include— An array of valid names to disablemodulesintegration above, listed packages are bundled within your application$format— This value is passed directly asformatoption for rollup, available formats are:amd,js,es6,iife,umd$bundle— This value will be used as the exported symbol on bundles$render— Render the current output asyieldfor the given source file$globals— Global variables to bundle explicitly$external— External modules to bundle explicitly$transpiler— Set the transpiler for all ES6 sources
You can install the following dependencies for specific support:
npm install coffeescript→.coffeeand.litcoffee(aka.coffee.md)npm install postcss→.post.csssources (experimental)npm install pug→.pugand.jade(legacy)npm install sass-node→.sassand.scssnpm install less→.lessnpm install styl→.stylnpm install handlebars→.hbsnpm install kramed→.md,.mkdnpm install buble→.jsxand.es6.jsnpm install traceur→.jsxand.es6.jsnpm install sucrase→.jsxand.es6.jsnpm install typescript→.tsand.tsxnpm install babel-core@^5→.jsxand.es6.jsnpm install liquid→.liquidnpm install nodent→ to transpileasync/awaitdown to ES5
Imported sources through Rollup.js will be processed anyway regardless they're supported or not.
Tarima doesn't ship any dependency for the supported engines, is your responsibility to install whatever you will need.
Tarima supports .es6 through Bublé which is so damn fast and lot constrained than Babel, of course you can use Traceur too.
Babel — npm install babel-core@^6 babel-preset-es2015 to get the latest babel version with es2015 as default preset:
{
"bundleOptions": {
"babel": {
"presets": [["es2015", {}]]
}
}
}As part of the transpilation process you can put any value as global using the globals option:
tarima.parse('x.js', '/* global foo */console.log(foo);', {
globals: {
foo: 'bar'
},
}).render((err, result) => {
console.log(result.source);
});The previous code will output this:
var foo = "bar";
console.log(foo);All given globals are injected in the sample place as the /* global */ comment is declared.
Also you can pass any value, even functions, because all values are normalized through the tosource module.
Local data (either passed manually and front-matter) is always merged with globals, e.g.
/**
---
foo: bar
---
*/
/* global foo */
console.log(foo);Resulting into:
var foo = "bar";
console.log(foo);Using this technique your code will always be valid on syntax terms. ;)
The bundler will merge up all importee.data with the importer.data before processing.
Note globals are injected during the
post-filterfor all script sources.
Also you can use comments to conditionally render chunks of code through macros, e.g.
//IF DEBUG
console.log(this);
//ENDIFMacro-tags should be placed one per-line, nesting is allowed and you can use
<!--IF X-->or/*IF X*/for several source-types.
All supported templates can take locals, you can pass any values when calling .render(locals, cb) to draw them during the compile (or render) process.
-
It can take any amount of files and produce different outputs based on supplied configuration, you can filter out some files, rename different subests, bundle them, etc.
-
Provides a simple hook system to catch-all non supported files, then are piped out to different handlers if they exists.
-
Otherwise, all non supported files are simply copied.
It comes with basic dependency tracking, so any change will affect only its dependent sources.
The best way is adding tarima as dependency, global or locally, and then setup your package.json for using it:
{
"scripts": {
"dev": "tarima watch src",
"build": "tarima src -fe production"
}
}Now calling npm run dev will start in watch-mode and npm run build will set NODE_ENV=production and force a complete rebuild of all sources.
You can pass many source directories as arguments, but they can be difficult to maintain, so you can use the tarima object for settings:
{
"scripts": {
"dev": "tarima watch",
"build": "tarima -fe production"
},
"tarima": {
"from": [
"src",
"tests"
],
"output": "lib"
}
}You can read sources from multiple directories.
If no output is given ./build will be used instead.
All files then are read or watch from given directories, any change will trigger a compilation process.
This process will transpile the given source file if tarima supports it, if not it will be piped or copied as stated above.
Basically you can write ./src/index.md and obtain ./build/src/index.html as result.
You'll notice that the source's filepath will be maintained as is, because you can specify multiple source directories and it will be difficult to resolve everything.
You can use the rename option for cut-off directories from the destination filepath:
{
"tarima": {
"rename": [
"**:{basedir/1}/{fname}"
]
}
}
This will match ./src/index.md to ./build/index.html directly.
The
{basedir/1}expression will split the source's dirname and remove the first directory from its left, e.g../dest/src/file.extbecomes./dest/file.extand such.
Tarima will let you organize your source files as your pleasure, and them process them as you expect, to write them finally wherever you want.
Not a complete building tool but damn useful for daily work.
Tarima will use node-notifier to display some feedback about the process.
You can customize some values of the notification popup:
{
"tarima": {
"notifications": {
"title": "My app",
"okIcon": "./success.png",
"errIcon": "./failure.png"
}
}
}Tarima is efficient by tracking dependencies using a json-file for caching, this way on each startup nothing will be compiled unless they are changes or dirty files.
By default the cache file is .tarima, but you use a different file specifying the cacheFile option:
{
"tarima": {
"cacheFile": "tmp/cache.json"
}
}By default all scripts are transpiled only, you must enable the bundle option for globally treat each entry-point as bundle.
This option can be true to enable bundling on all files (filtered), a glob string, or an array of globs.
Files matching the globs will be treated as entry-points, see below.
Or locally set the $bundle option as front-matter:
/**
---
$bundle: true
---
*/
import { getValue } from './other/script';
export default function () {
return getValue(...arguments);
};When using
$bundleyou don't need to declare it on each imported file, only within the entry-points you want to bundle.
On javascript you can use the tilde prefix for loading sources from the cwd, e.g.
import pkg from '~/package.json';
console.log(pkg.version);Even stylesheets are entry-points by nature:
@import 'colors.less';
a { color: @link-text-color; }So you don't need anything else to bundle stylesheets. ;)
Ignoring sources will skip all matched files from watching, Tarima will never track them for any purpose.
You can use the ignoreFiles to provide a glob-based file with patterns to be ignored.
Example:
{
"tarima": {
"ignoreFiles": [".gitignore"]
}
}Any .gitignore compatible format is supported.
Filtered sources are watched but not used for any transpilation process, they are ignored because they should be imported from any other entry-point file.
A common pattern is ignoring everything which starts with underscore:
{
"tarima": {
"filter": [
"!_*",
"!_*/**",
"!**/_*",
"!**/_*/**"
]
}
}Copied files can be placed elsewhere within the output directory, e.g.
{
"tarima": {
"copy": {
"vendor/*.txt": "other",
"vendor/assets": "."
}
}
}So, vendor/sample.txt will endup as dest/other/sample.txt
Sources without globs are copied maintaining the same base directory.
When used as arrays or when not specified, the target directory is
..
You can provide a configuration file for rollup using the rollupFile option:
{
"tarima": {
"rollupFile": "rollup.config.js"
}
}You can setup the specific behavior of bundling using bundleOptions:
{
"tarima": {
"bundleOptions": {
"transpiler": "babel",
"less": { "plugins": [] }
}
}
}All given options are passed directly when calling the view.bundle() method.
You can pass a global locals object accesible for all parsed templates, this way you can reuse anything do you need:
{
"tarima": {
"locals": {
"title": "My project"
}
}
}Given locals are passed directly when calling any render() method on Tarima.
Using the plugins option you can declare scripts or modules to be loaded and perform specific tasks, common plugins are:
talavera— support for sprites and lazy loadingtarima-browser-sync— BrowserSync integration (heavy)
Some plugins can take its configuration from pluginOptions or directly from the main configuration:
{
"tarima": {
"pluginOptions": {
"buble": { "jsx": "h" }
}
}
}All plugins are loaded automatically by Tarima on the startup.
cwd— project's directoryfrom— source directories to process, not globs!copy— static directories to copy, object or arrayoutput— destination for generated filespublic— public directory for serving assetscacheFile— store processed details from filesrename— declare single rename operations, e.g.M:Nfilter— set which files will be ignored from processingignore— skip sources, files, directories or globs from anythingignoreFiles— extractignorepatterns from these files (see above)bundle— enable bundling if it'strue, or just files matching thisbundleOptions— enable settings for all processed sources (see above)plugins— enable plugins for further processing, e.g.talaverapluginOptions— specific options for all enabled pluginsflags— given flags from CLI (or custom)locals— data passed to all rendered sourcesreloader— this script is invoked after any changewatching— additional files and directories to watch, globs will not work!notifications— custom settings fornode-notifier
