A cross-platform CLI app to compile Razor templates
This tool is mean to scratch an itch when it comes to reusing partials from ASP.NET applications in other settings (such as styleguides) and keeping them in sync.
The basic interface is just to be able to use this as part of a build pipeline. A basic wrapper to be able to use this with Node is in place.
Assuming the binary has been built:
razor-cli examples/partial.cshtml examples/model.json
Hello John Smith, this is an example of what <strong>Razor CLI</strong> can do!
This is what make -s run does
The RazorEngine driving this thing is only concerned with the actual parsing. Any libraries you might use in your templates is none of its concern needs to be added to the runtime and made available for the runtime to use when actually running the template.
To solve this I need help from someone with more .NET foo than myself.
This was whipped together in a couple of hours by someone unfamiliar with the .NET pipeline using a text editor and the command line on a Mac so it might deviate a bit from best practices.
See the issues for how you can help out.
We assume you have the Mono runtime and tools in your $PATH
make -s
You now have a razor-cli.exe binary.
- Very little error handling
- Very little help using the cli
- No way to use libraries in the templates (#1)
- Needs restructuring to be buildable using .NET
