```

#Configuration

```js
// wallaby.conf.js

var angularTemplatePreprocessor = require('wallaby-ng-jade2js-preprocessor');
module.exports = function () {
  return {
    files: [
      'app/**/*.js',
      'app/**/*.jade'
     ],
     tests: [
       'tests/**/*.js'
     ],
    preprocessors: {
      'app/**/*.jade': function(file) {
        return angularTemplatePreprocessor.transform(file, {
          // strip this from the file path
          stripPrefix: 'public/',
          stripSufix: '.ext',
          // prepend this to the
          prependPrefix: 'served/',

          // or define a custom transform function
          cacheIdFromPath: function(filepath) {
            return cacheId;
          },

          // setting this option will create only a single module that contains templates
          // from all the files, so you can load them all with module('foo')
          moduleName: 'foo'
        })
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#How does it work ?

This preprocessor converts JADE files into JS strings and generates Angular modules. These modules, when loaded, puts these JADE files into the $templateCache and therefore Angular won't try to fetch them from the server.
