View Helpers

This module is used as express middleware and it provides helper methods to the views.

Installation

$ npm install view-helpers-AT

or specify in package.json as dependency

Usage

with express

var helpers = require('view-helpers')
app.use(helpers('app name')) // make sure you declare this middleware after `connect-flash` and `express.session` middlewares and before `express.router`.

In your views you would have access to some methods and variables. The middleware also exposes req object.

API

  • createPagination(pages, page) - creates pagination
  • formatDate(date) - date is a mongoose Date object
  • isActive('/link/href/') - to add active class to the link
  • stripScript(str) - to escape javascript inputs
  • req.isMobile - detects if the request is coming from tablet/mobile device
  • res.render('template', locals, cb) - mobile templates - If the request is coming from a mobile device, then it would try to look for a template.mobile.jade (or with the registered extension, it can also be ejs, hbs etc) file in the views folder and render it. This has been added in the 0.1.0 version. Refer to 166ebf2 for more details.
