connect-jade

Jade template render helper for connect

Use case:

$ npm install connect-jade

// require lib
var connectJade = require('connect-jade');
var connect = require('connect');

// initialize connect app
var app = connect();
app.use(connectJade({
          root: __dirname + "/views",
          debug: true,
          defaults: {
            title: "No title"
            keywords: "node, connect, jade, template"
          }
        })
);

// in routes
var items = [1, 2, 3, 4];
res.render('index', { title: 'Index Page', items: items });

Define "global" variables dynamicaly

// require lib
var connectJade = require('connect-jade');
var connect = require('connect');

// initialize connect app
var app = connect();
app.use(Connect.session({
          secret: Configuration.Session.secret,
          cookie: {
            maxAge: 60000
          }
        })
);
// it is stupid because I redefine user in each request
// but better solution is longer
// and not ass-simple
// :) sorry
app.use(function addUserFromSession(req, res, next) {
  if (typeof req.session.user != "undefined") {
    res.addVariable('user', req.session.user);
  } else {
    res.addVariable('user', {name: "Anonymous"});
  }
  next();
});
app.use(connectJade({
          root: __dirname + "/views",
          debug: true
        })
);
