This demo shows how to inject a function as Nodejs global variable in the before task (before.js).

global.escapeHTML = require('escape-html');

Note this demo skeleton has a package.json file with escape-html in the "dependencies", not "devDependencies". Because it requires that npm module at runtime.

Because before.js is loaded before preprocessing all skeleton files, this global function is then available in the @eval directive.

It's then used in common/index.html as

<h1><!--  @eval escapeHTML(name) --></h1>
<p><!-- @eval escapeHTML(description) --></p>
