Config
You can change the folder where your helpers are stored in your config.xxx.json
file:
"engines":
Helpers
The base directory for absolute paths is the utils/helpers
directory.
Helpers are required()
functions that can be embeded into templates to keep your code DRY. Take this example which could live in your helpers
folder as slugify.js
.
var s = moduleexports { return }
This function would be used in a template file like so:
$
Output:
the-quick-brown-fox-jumps-over-the-lazy-dog
Includes
The base directory for absolute paths is the pages/
directory. Take the following directory tree.
pages/
|_ partials/
|_ |_ header.js
|_ |_ footer.js
|_ index.js
|_ index.json
To include the partials from index.js
, you can use an underscore to indicate a sub-folder:
$partials_header <h1>ES6 Templates test</h1> <p>This page lives at $host</p> <h2>Loop test</h2> <ul> $postsresults</ul> $partials_footer
