Angular Pug Builders

Angular Pug Builders adds pug (.pug / .jade files) support for your Angular project.

It extends default @angular-devkit/build-angular builders with webpack pug rules. That means you always could you the latest (or a specific version) Angular native builders with Angular Pug Builders, because Angular Pug Builders uses @angular-devkit/build-angular builders as a dependency.

Installation

Installation is simple as:

1. At the root of your project, run:

   ng add ngx-pug-builders

   Note: If you use older version of Angular, you need to install appropriate version of Angular Pug Builders. See Versioning.

   Example: For Angular v12.x.x use

   ng add ngx-pug-builders@12

2. That's it!

Manual installation

If you prefer manual installation, you would need:

1. Make sure your project have installed:

   • @angular-devkit/build-angular
   • @angular/compiler-cli
   • typescript

2. Install ngx-pug-builders and pug as a development dependencies:

   npm install --save-dev ngx-pug-builders pug

   or

   npm i -D ngx-pug-builders pug

3. Switch @angular-devkit/build-angular builders to appropriate ngx-pug-builders builders in your angular.json.

   Before:

     "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:[browser|dev-server|extract-i18n|karma|server]"

   After:

     "builder": "ngx-pug-builders:[browser|dev-server|extract-i18n|karma|server]"

Usage

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.pug', // <--- Pug file supported now
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'app';
}

Options

You can configure your project to pass the additional options to Pug loader.

You can see the supported options here.

Configuration File Formats

Angular Pug Builders supports configuration files in several formats:

• JavaScript - use .pugrc.js or pug.config.js and export an object containing your configuration.
• YAML - use .pugrc, .pugrc.yaml or .pugrc.yml to define the configuration structure.
• JSON - use .pugrc.json to define the configuration structure.
• package.json - create an pugConfig property in your package.json file and define your configuration there.

If there are multiple configuration files in the same directory, Angular Pug Builders will only use one. The priority order is as follows:

1. package.json
2. .pugrc
3. .pugrc.json
4. .pugrc.yaml
5. .pugrc.yml
6. .pugrc.js
7. .pugrc.cjs
8. pug.config.js
9. pug.config.cjs

Using Configuration Files

Here's an example configuration file that sets Pug loader basedir option (again, see whole list of supported options here):

• .pugrc.json (JSON)

  {
    "basedir": "./src/"
  }

• .pugrc (YAML)

  # Unlike pug-loader, simple-pug-loader uses pug for all file resolution.
  basedir: ./src/

• pug.config.js (JavaScript)

  module.exports = {
    // Unlike pug-loader, simple-pug-loader uses pug for all file resolution.
    basedir: './src/'
  };

P.S.: Either of that should work. No need to create all of them. See Configuration File Formats.
