simples-engineer

simples-engineer is a tool to connect incompatible template engines to simpleS servers and hosts.

Recommended for simpleS 0.8+

Instalation

npm install simples-engineer

List of supported template engines

• blade
• ejs 2.0+
• hamljs
• jade
• swig
• twig
• If the template engine is compatible with Express then simples-engineer will support it
• You can add support for your template engine with a pull request

Usage

var simples = require('simples'),
    engineer = require('simples-engineer');
 
var server = simples();
 
// For blade
var engine = engineer('blade', { /* engine options */ });
 
// For ejs
var engine = engineer('ejs', { /* engine options */ });
 
// For hamljs
var engine = engineer('hamljs', { /* engine options */ });
 
// For jade
var engine = engineer('jade', { /* engine options */ });
 
// For swig
var engine = engineer('swig', { /* engine options */ });
 
// For twig
var engine = engineer('twig', { /* engine options */ });
 
// For any other template engine which is compatible with Express
var engine = engineer('any-express-template-engine', { /* engine options */ });
 
// Connect the template engine to the server
server.engine(engine);

simples-engineer will require the template engine module, will check if they are supported and will apply a compatibility layer to them so they work well with simpleS's insternal rendering sytem. Engine options are template engine specific options which can be applied on rendering. Note: the template engine module which you want to use with simples-engineer should be already installed.
