Knockout Template Loader for Webpack

This is a webpack loader that will load knockout templates from html files. When chained with the html loader, it utilizes the stringTemplateEngine by Ryan Niemeyer to load the html template and make it available to knockout's template parsing logic.

Install

npm install knockout-template-loader --save-dev

Usage

Either add it to your global webpack.config.js, chaining after the html-loader:

{
  module: {
    loaders: [{
      test: /\.html$/,
      use: [{
        loader: "knockout-template-loader",
        options: {
          name: "[name]",
          caseInsensitive: true
        }
      },
      {
        loader: "html-loader"
      }]
    }]
  }
}

or, if you don't want to use it globally, on a case-by-case basis:

require("knockout-template!html!./my-template-file.html");

Options

name: string | function(string) => string

By default, the loader will make the template available to knockout using the template's file name. If you want to override that, you can specify the name parameter.

• Use a string value utilizing the available replacement tokens, like [name] for filename without extension.
• Pass a callback function which receives the full path of the HTML file being loaded and returns a name for the template.

Examples

...
name: "[name]" // use file name without extension
name: function(fullname) {
  // use parent directory name + filename
  var directoryName = path.basename(path.dirname(fullname));
  var filename = path.basename(fullname).replace(/\.[^/.]+$/, "");
  return directoryName + "-" + filename;
}  
...

Or using as an inline loader parameter:

require("knockout-template?name=myBetterName!html!./my-template-file.html");

caseInsensitive: boolean (default: false)

If set to true, the underlying template name resolution will happen case-insensitively, otherwise it will be case sensitive.
