Angular Rails Templates

Behind the hideous Angular Rails Templates name is hiding a template management system for rails' asset pipeline and AngularJS' template views.

Basically: this will precompile your templates into the template cache, to be used by your application. It removes the need for ajax calls to get the templates (or for you to manually set them into the dom).

Usage

Add the gem into your Gemfile

gem 'angular-rails-templates'

Then, in your application.js file, require your templates and the internal javascript file:

//= require angularjs
//= require_tree ./path_to_your_templates

Your template files can have the extensions .html or .ajs

In your application, add a dependency to the templates module.

var application = angular.module('myApplication', ['templates']);

Loading this module will automatically load all your templates into angular's $templateCache. Angular uses this parameter when checking for the presence of templates before making an HTTP call.

The templates can then be accessed via templateUrl as expected:

{
  templateUrl: 'path_to_your_templates/yourTemplate.html'
}

How it works

We create the templates module (configurable through config.angular_templates.module_name in your application.rb), which populates Angular's $templateCache with all your templates when the module is included in your app.
