|
||
__NOTE__: you must still install the engines you wish to use, add them to your package.json dependencies.
|
||
|
||
## API
|
||
|
||
All templates supported by this library may be rendered using the signature `(path[, locals], callback)` as shown below, which happens to be the signature that Express 3.x supports so any of these engines may be used within Express.
|
||
|
||
__NOTE__: All this example code uses cons.swig for the swig template engine. Replace swig with whatever templating you are using. For example, use cons.hogan for hogan.js, cons.jade for jade, etc. `console.log(cons)` for the full list of identifiers.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
var cons = require('consolidate');
|
||
cons.swig('views/page.html', { user: 'tobi' }, function(err, html){
|
||
if (err) throw err;
|
||
console.log(html);
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or without options / local variables:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
var cons = require('consolidate');
|
||
cons.swig('views/page.html', function(err, html){
|
||
if (err) throw err;
|
||
console.log(html);
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To dynamically pass the engine, simply use the subscript operator and a variable:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
var cons = require('consolidate')
|
||
, name = 'swig';
|
||
|
||
cons[name]('views/page.html', { user: 'tobi' }, function(err, html){
|
||
if (err) throw err;
|
||
console.log(html);
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Promises
|
||
|
||
Additionally, all templates optionally return a promise if no callback function is provided. The promise represents the eventual result of the template function which will either resolve to a string, compiled from the template, or be rejected. Promises expose a `then` method which registers callbacks to receive the promise’s eventual value and a `catch` method which the reason why the promise could not be fulfilled. Promises allow more synchronous-like code structure and solve issues like race conditions.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
var cons = require('consolidate');
|
||
|
||
cons.swig('views/page.html', { user: 'tobi' })
|
||
.then(function (html) {
|
||
console.log(html);
|
||
})
|
||
.catch(function (err) {
|
||
throw err;
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Caching
|
||
|
||
To enable caching simply pass `{ cache: true }`. Engines _may_ use this option to cache things reading the file contents, compiled `Function`s etc. Engines which do _not_ support this may simply ignore it. All engines that consolidate.js implements I/O for will cache the file contents, ideal for production environments.
|
||
When using consolidate directly: `cons.swig('views/page.html', { user: 'tobi', cache:true }, callback);`
|
||
Using Express 3 or higher: `app.locals.cache = true` or set NODE_ENV to 'production' and Express will do this for you.
|
||
|
||
## Express 3.x example
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
var express = require('express')
|
||
, cons = require('consolidate')
|
||
, app = express();
|
||
|
||
// assign the swig engine to .html files
|
||
app.engine('html', cons.swig);
|
||
|
||
// set .html as the default extension
|
||
app.set('view engine', 'html');
|
||
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
|
||
|
||
var users = [];
|
||
users.push({ name: 'tobi' });
|
||
users.push({ name: 'loki' });
|
||
users.push({ name: 'jane' });
|
||
|
||
app.get('/', function(req, res){
|
||
res.render('index', {
|
||
title: 'Consolidate.js'
|
||
});
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
app.get('/users', function(req, res){
|
||
res.render('users', {
|
||
title: 'Users',
|
||
users: users
|
||
});
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
app.listen(3000);
|
||
console.log('Express server listening on port 3000');
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Template Engine Instances
|
||
|
||
Template engines are exposed via the `cons.requires` object, but they are not instantiated until you've called the `cons[engine].render()` method. You can instantiate them manually beforehand if you want to add filters, globals, mixins, or other engine features.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
var cons = require('consolidate'),
|
||
nunjucks = require('nunjucks');
|
||
|
||
// add nunjucks to requires so filters can be
|
||
// added and the same instance will be used inside the render method
|
||
cons.requires.nunjucks = nunjucks.configure();
|
||
|
||
cons.requires.nunjucks.addFilter('foo', function () {
|
||
return 'bar';
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
* If you're using Nunjucks, please take a look at the `exports.nunjucks.render` function in `lib.consolidate.js`. You can pass your own engine/environment via `options.nunjucksEnv`, or if you want to support Express you can pass `options.settings.views`, or if you have another use case, pass `options.nunjucks` (see the code for more insight).
|
||
* You can pass **partials** with `options.partials`
|
||
* For using **template inheritance** with nunjucks, you can pass a loader
|
||
with `options.loader`.
|
||
* To use **filters** with tinyliquid, use `options.filters` and specify an array of properties, each of which is a named filter function. A filter function takes a string as a parameter and returns a modified version of it.
|
||
* To use **custom tags** with tinyliquid, use `options.customTags` to specify an array of tag functions that follow the tinyliquid [custom tag](https://github.com/leizongmin/tinyliquid/wiki/Custom-Tag) definition.
|
||
* The default directory used with the **include** tag with tinyliquid is the current working directory. To override this, use `options.includeDir`.
|
||
* `React` To render content into a html base template (eg. `index.html` of your React app), pass the path of the template with `options.base`.
