Install

Install with npm:

Usage

Should work with any collection of vinyl files.

const getView = require('get-view');

templates example

Given the following setup code, all of the below examples would return a view from the app.views.pages collection:

const templates = require('templates');
app = templates();
app.create('page');

app.page('foo', {content: 'this is foo'});
app.page('bar.md', {content: 'this is bar'});
app.page('a/b/c/baz.md', {content: 'this is baz', base: 'a'});
app.page('test/fixtures/templates/a.tmpl');

Get a view by customizing the lookup key with a function:

const view = getView(app.views.pages, function(view) {
  return view.stem === 'foo.md';
});

//=> <View "foo" <Buffer 74 68 69 73 20 69>>

Get a view by view.path

const view = getView(app.views.pages, 'a/b/c/baz.md');
//=> <View "b/c/baz.md" <Buffer 74 68 69 73>>

Get a view by view.basename

const view = getView(app.views.pages, 'baz.md');
//=> <View "b/c/baz.md" <Buffer 74 68 69 73>>

Get a view by view.filename

const view = getView(app.views.pages, 'baz');
//=> <View "b/c/baz.md" <Buffer 74 68 69 73>>

Get a view by view.relative

const view = getView(app.views.pages, 'b/c/baz.md');
//=> <View "b/c/baz.md" <Buffer 74 68 69 73>>

Release history

v2.0

Breaking changes

• The order of arguments has been reversed, so that the collection of views is passed first, and the lookup value is second.
• No longer matches with globs. This can be done by passing a glob matcher as the second argument.
