Examples

Render a single file:

$ swig render ./index.html

Compile and cache a template into a renderable function and minify the output with uglify-js:

$ swig compile ./index.html -m > ./cache/index.js

Run and build the previously cached template:

$ swig run ./cache/index.js

Import a JSON file as the variable context for rendering a template:

$ swig render ./index.html -j ./index.json

Make your template an AMD module:

$ swig compile ./index.html --wrap-start="define(function () { return " --wrap-end="; });"
