templating with target does not work about grunt-template

[henrahmagix]

@AdrienGiboire The problem here is you are trying to define dev and dist targets under the process-html-template target. You can't nest targets within targets =)

From copying the README examples, you need to replace process-html-template with dev, and then duplicate and replace dev with dist, like so:

// README example
grunt.initConfig({
    template: {
        options: {
            // Options for all targets go here
        },
        yourTarget: {
            options: {
                // Target-specific options go here
            },
            files: {
                // Target-specific file lists go here
            }
        }
    }
});

// Adding your dev and dist targets.
grunt.initConfig({
    template: {
        options: {
            data: {
                'current_locale': 'en-us',
                'css_file': 'css/main.css'
            }
        },
        dev: {
            files: {
                '<%= yeoman.dev %>/index.html': ['<%= yeoman.app %>/index.html']
            }
        },
        dist: {
            files: {
                '<%= yeoman.dist %>/index.html': ['<%= yeoman.dist %>/index.html']
            }
        }
    }

Now call grunt template:dev and grunt template:dist, or just grunt template to run all the targets.

This is what I ended doing but I found this less flexible and neat.

Thanks for the reply :)

Is it that you want options per target? You can do that:

template: {
    options: {
        data: {
            'current_locale': 'en-us',
            'css_file': 'css/main.css'
        }
    },
    dev: {
        options: {
            data: {
                'name': 'dev'
            }
        },
        files: {
            'dev/index.html': ['app/index.html']
        }
    },
    dist: {
        options: {
            data: {
                'name': 'dist'
            }
        },
        files: {
            'dist/index.html': ['build/index.html']
        }
    }
}
