ejs-compiled-loader

library3.1.0jsnpmunverified

Webpack loader that compiles EJS templates (without frontend dependencies) into reusable JavaScript functions. Current stable version is 3.1.0. Release cadence is irregular; major version bumps (e.g., 3.0.0) added webpack 4 support. Key differentiators: it strips out runtime dependencies, compiles templates to functions, supports HTML minification, and is intended for server-side or build-time template compilation—not for browser-ready templates with the full EJS runtime.

ejs-compiled-loader

✓ import template from 'ejs-compiled-loader!./file.ejs';

✗ const template = require('ejs-compiled-loader!./file.ejs');

Webpack loader usage is identical in CommonJS and ESM; the loader returns the template function, not the raw source.

rules config (webpack)

✓ module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.ejs$/, use: 'ejs-compiled-loader' } ] } };

✗ module.exports = { module: { loaders: [ { test: /\.ejs$/, loader: 'ejs-compiled-loader' } ] } };

webpack 4+ uses module.rules, not module.loaders. The loader property was deprecated in webpack 2.

require() in Node (without webpack)

✓ const { compile } = require('ejs'); const template = compile(source);

✗ const template = require('ejs-compiled-loader!./file.ejs'); // Only works in webpack context

ejs-compiled-loader is a webpack loader; it cannot be used directly in Node without webpack.

Shows basic webpack configuration and how to import an .ejs template, then render it with data.

// webpack.config.js module.exports = { module: { rules: [ { test: /\.ejs$/, use: 'ejs-compiled-loader' } ] } }; // app.js import template from './file.ejs'; const html = template({ name: 'World' }); console.log(html); // => '<p>Hello World</p>'

Debug

Known issues

breakingejs-compiled-loader v3 drops support for webpack <4. If you are on webpack 3 or earlier, use v2.

fix

Upgrade to webpack 4+ or pin ejs-compiled-loader@2.3.0.

affects: >=3.0.0

deprecatedThe module.loaders syntax is deprecated since webpack 2. Using it with ejs-compiled-loader will cause warnings.

fix

Use module.rules with the use property instead of loaders.

affects: *

gotchaEJS options like 'delimiter' or 'openDelimiter' are not directly supported in ejs-compiled-loader v3; you must pass them via query parameters or the options object.

fix

Example: use: 'ejs-compiled-loader?delimiter=?' or specify in options: use: { loader: 'ejs-compiled-loader', options: { delimiter: '?' } }

affects: >=3.0.0

gotchaThe loader returns a function, not a string. Attempting to assign the output directly to innerHTML will fail if not invoked.

fix

Ensure you call the template function with data: const html = template(data);

affects: *

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'ejs' in '/path'

ejs is a peer dependency and must be installed separately.

fix

Run: npm install ejs

You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

Webpack cannot parse .ejs files without the ejs-compiled-loader configured.

fix

Add a rule for .ejs files in your webpack configuration using ejs-compiled-loader.

template is not a function

You did not invoke the function returned by the loader.

fix

Call the imported template with data: const html = template(data);
