A RequireJS plugin to load CanJS 2.2 templates.

• Supports EJS, Mustache and Stache templates as featured in CanJS 2.2.

• Supports development and production builds.

• Supports loading with RequireJS, for example, define(["stache!template.stache"], function(template) { ... }).

• Also supports loading templates with can.view("template.stache"), and Mustache-style partials with {{>template.stache}}. Just make sure they are loaded by RequireJS first with, for example,
  define(["stache!template.stache", ...]).

• Stache templates are pre-compiled for the production build, and dependencies loaded first when using <can-import from="some-project/some-component" />.

• EJS and Mustache templates are not currently pre-compiled.

Install with NPM:

npm install requirejs-canjs-templates --save

Or, install with Bower:

bower install requirejs-canjs-templates --save

You'll also need the text RequireJS plugin:

bower install text --save

To install the Stache template plugin, update your RequireJS config with:

require.config({
    // For the shorter plugin prefix (e.g. `stache!file.stache`).
    paths: {
        stache: "path/to/requirejs-canjs-templates/stache",
        text: "path/to/text/text"
    },
    // So that the template library is included in the build. You don't need 
    // this if you explicitly load the template library elsewhere in your app. 
    shim: {
        "path/to/requirejs-canjs-templates/stache": ["can/view/stache"]
    }
});

To install all template plugins, update your RequireJS config with:

require.config({
    // For the shorter plugin prefix (e.g. `stache!file.stache`).
    paths: {
        ejs: "path/to/requirejs-canjs-templates/ejs",
        mustache: "path/to/requirejs-canjs-templates/mustache",
        stache: "path/to/requirejs-canjs-templates/stache",
        text: "path/to/text/text"
    },
    // So that the template library is included in the build. You don't need
    // this if you explicitly load the template library elsewhere in your app.
    shim: {
        "path/to/requirejs-canjs-templates/ejs": ["can/view/ejs"],
        "path/to/requirejs-canjs-templates/mustache": ["can/view/mustache"],
        "path/to/requirejs-canjs-templates/stache": ["can/view/stache"]
    }
});

Load your templates:

define(["stache!./hello.stache"], function(helloTemplate) {
    document.body.appendChild(helloTemplate({}));
});
