Simple script for buidling dot.js template files (`.jst`) and generating the js template functions.

build-dotjs-templates.ts

import * as dot from 'dot';
import * as fs from "fs";
import * as rimraf from 'rimraf';

const source: string = `${__dirname }/templates`;
const destination: string = `${__dirname}/dot-build`;

// Generate destination files from source template files
(async () => {
  // If the destination folder exists, remove it to ensure it does not contain old files
  if (fs.existsSync(destination)){
    rimraf.sync(destination, {});
  }

  // Create new empty destination directory
  await fs.promises.mkdir(destination);

  dot.process({
    destination: destination,
    path: source,
  });

  let templates = {};
  for (const file of fs.readdirSync(destination)) {
    if (file.endsWith(".js")) {
      const fileName = file.split('.')[0];
      templates[fileName] = await import(`${destination}/${file}`);

      // Log file
      console.log(`Loaded template '${fileName}'`);
    }
  }

  return;
})();
