How to

By default, .html views are associated to plates engine. The association is a one line code: require('express-plates').init(app);

Here is a more detailed example:

app = require('express')();
require('express-plates').init(app);
 
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');
 
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.render('index', {
        data: {
            title: 'Plates is pretty cool, so is Express',
            content: 'It seems to work quiet well'
        }
    });
});
 
app.listen(8080);

You may customize the express engine setting:

var express = = require('express');
var app = express();
var expressPlates = require('express-plates');
 
app.engine('.plate', expressPlates);

Maps

You can require plates and use Map() easilly :

var expressPlates = require('express-plates');
var plates = require('plates');
 
app.engine('.html', expressPlates);
app.set('views', __dirname + "/views");
 
// further in the app... 
 
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    var map = plates.Map();
 
    map.class('content').to('content');
 
    res.render('index', {
        data: {
            content: 'It seems to work quiet well'
        },
        map: map
    });
});
