can.viewify is a browserify transform that allows you to require() .mustache and .ejs files as precompiled CanJS views.

$ npm install can.viewify

browserify -t can.viewify main.js -o bundle.js

var browserify = require('browserify');
var fs = require('fs');

var b = browserify('main.js');
b.transform('can.viewify');

b.bundle().pipe(fs.createWriteStream('bundle.js'));

For packages that include these views, add a browserify transform field to package.json and browserify will apply the transform to all modules in the package as it builds a bundle. Note that can.view must be accessible globally in window, at runtime.

{
  "name": "anchor",
  "main": "main",
  "browserify": {
    "transform": "can.viewify"
  }
}

• can.view must be present globally in order for these views to work at runtime, otherwise they will return plain strings. In the future, this module will generate modules that explicitly require('can') or require('canjs') or something of the sort.

can.viewify is a public domain work, dedicated using CC0 1.0. Feel free to do whatever you want with it.
