Configuring Eta
Setting custom delimiters, controlling caching, etc.
You can configure Eta using the configure() command, which merges the options you pass in with the current configuration.
Example
Eta.configure({
cache: true // Make Eta cache templates
})Eta's current configuration is stored in the config variable (which is aliased to defaultConfig for backwards compatibility)
Eta.config.tags // ["<%", "%>"]Big list of configuration options
Here's the TypeScript interface describing Eta's config (taken from the source code)
interface EtaConfig {
/** Whether or not to automatically XML-escape interpolations. Default true */
autoEscape: boolean
/** Configure automatic whitespace trimming. Default `[false, 'nl']` */
autoTrim: trimConfig | [trimConfig, trimConfig]
/** Compile to async function */
async: boolean
/** Whether or not to cache templates if `name` or `filename` is passed */
cache: boolean
/** XML-escaping function */
e: (str: string) => string
/** Parsing options. NOTE: "-" and "_" may not be used, since they are reserved for whitespace trimming. */
parse: {
/** Which prefix to use for evaluation. Default `""` */
exec: string
/** Which prefix to use for interpolation. Default `"="` */
interpolate: string
/** Which prefix to use for raw interpolation. Default `"~"` */
raw: string
}
/** Array of plugins */
plugins: Array<{
processFnString?: Function
processAST?: Function
processTemplate?: Function
}>
/** Remove all safe-to-remove whitespace */
rmWhitespace: boolean
/** Delimiters: by default `['<%', '%>']` */
tags: [string, string]
/** Holds template cache */
templates: Cacher<TemplateFunction>
/** Name of the data object. Default `it` */
varName: string
/** Absolute path to template file */
filename?: string
/** Holds cache of resolved filepaths. Set to `false` to disable */
filepathCache?: Record<string, string> | false
/** A filter function applied to every interpolation or raw interpolation */
filter?: Function
/** Function to include templates by name */
include?: Function
/** Function to include templates by filepath */
includeFile?: Function
/** Name of template */
name?: string
/** Where should absolute paths begin? Default '/' */
root?: string
/** Make data available on the global object instead of varName */
useWith?: boolean
/** Whether or not to cache templates if `name` or `filename` is passed: duplicate of `cache` */
"view cache"?: boolean
/** Directory or directories that contain templates */
views?: string | Array<string>
/** The config object can also have other properties, potentially added by plugins */
