Support per-file `name` option

[wiggisser]

when using gulp pug like this

return gulp.src('./client/templates/*.pug')
      .pipe(data(function(file) {
        return {
          name: `__${path.basename(file.path, '.pug')}`
        };
      }))
      .pipe(pug({
        client: true,
        ...
      }))

the options returned from the gulp-data function are not passed through to the pug.compileClient. Especially, in my usecase, the template name is not set to the filename but to template

I am doing some maintenance on the lib currently. I'll handle this issue as part of it.

The gulp-data plugin is not designed for passing options through your pipeline. The way that this should probably be solved inside gulp-pug is to make the name option a string or function. If it is a function, call it for each file with the file as the only argument.

I have misunderstood the issue.
My understanding was that gulp-data could be used to pass the Pug locals, not the options themselves.

Agreed that per-file configuration can be achieved by accepting a function.

@demurgos I had misunderstood it as well until I dug into pug's options and noticed that @wiggisser was trying to pass the name option.

[wiggisser]

So, is there any possibility to derive the template name from the filename then?

[demurgos]

Yes

The way that this should probably be solved inside gulp-pug is to make the name option a string or function. If it is a function, call it for each file with the file as the only argument.

[wiggisser]

OK. I could probably provide a pull request for that ...

This library already supports receiving Pug locals from gulp-data. I'm renaming the issue to better reflect the actual problem.
