view-test
Introduction
view-test is a command line app written in node.js that enables easy testing of Jade and EJS templates. To install, simply run npm install view-test -g. Then, to get started, run view-test [options]. The templates will be accessible at http://localhost:[port]/[template name without extension]. For example, if we run view-test -p 1234 -e jade in a directory with a Jade template named demo.jade, the file would be accessible at http://localhost:1234/demo.
Options
These are accessible by typing view-test —help as well.
