Inline Scripts

This package contains scripts that help build client code:

• inline-script-tags inlines files referenced by <script> tags into an output HTML.

• inline-stylesheets inlines stylesheets referenced by <link> tags into an output HTML.

• inline-requires bundles require dependencies inside a single output JS.

• inline-environment-variables replaces references to process.env.<envVarName> with their values in a JS file.

Installation

npm i --save-dev inline-scripts

CLI Examples

inline-script-tags

<!-- src/index.html -->
<p>Welcome</p>
<script src="main.js"></script>

// src/main.js
console.log('Welcome');

$ inline-scripts src/index.html out/index.html

<!-- out/index.html -->
<p>Welcome</p>
<script>console.log('Welcome');</script>

inline-stylesheets

<!-- src/index.html -->
<p>Welcome</p>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

/* src/style.css */
body {
	color: red;
}

$ inline-stylesheets src/index.html out/index.html

<!-- out/index.html -->
<p>Welcome</p>
<style>body {
	color: red;
}</style>

inline-images

<!-- src/index.html -->
<p>Welcome</p>
<img src="red_dot.png">

$ inline-images src/index.html out/index.html

<!-- out/index.html -->
<p>Welcome</p>
<img src="data:image/png;base64, iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUAAAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==">

inline-requires

// src/main.js
let math = require('./mathHelper');
console.log('10 ^ 2 =', math.square(10));

// src/mathHelper.js
module.exports = {
	square: a => a * a,
	add: (a, b) => a + b,
	double: a => a * 2,
	increment: a => a++,
};

$ inline-requires src/main.js out/main.js

// out/main.js
let dependencies = {
	'main': (require, module) => {
		let math = require('./mathHelper');
		console.log('10 ^ 2 =', math.square(10));
	},
	'mathHelper': (require, module) => {
		module.exports = {
			square: a => a * a,
			add: (a, b) => a + b,
			double: a => a * 2,
			increment: a => a++,
		};
	}
};

let fakeRequire = (currentPath, dependencyPath) => {
	currentPath.pop();
	dependencyPath
		.replace(/.js$/, '')
		.split('/')
		.filter(a => a !== '.')
		.forEach(pathFragment => {
			if (pathFragment === '..')
				currentPath.pop();
			else
				currentPath.push(pathFragment);
		});

	let module = {};
	dependencies[currentPath.toString()](fakeRequire.bind(null, currentPath), module);
	return module.exports;
};

dependencies['main'](fakeRequire.bind(null, ['main']));

inline-environment-variables

// src/main.js
console.log('server URL is' + process.env.SERVER_URL);

$ inline-environment-variables src/main.js out/main.js

// out/main.js
console.log('server URL is' + 'https://api.github.com');

Note on parameters

All scripts usually take 2 parameters: the input and output files.

$ inline-scripts src/index.html out/index.html .

For convenience, if the 2nd parameter is ., the output will replace the input file.

$ inline-scripts out/index.html .

JS API

const {inlineEnvironmentVariables, inlineRequires, inlineScriptTags} = require(inline-scripts);

Each of the functions take a string path to the entry file as their single parameter and return a promise that resolves to the computed output.
