context.render ends up with 404 #72

01binary · 2017-08-31T19:31:28Z

Hello,

This is probably an issue with misunderstanding how koa/koa-hbs work, but it may be useful for others when they have the same problem while learning.

TL;DR: instead of rendering my template, I get a 404 even though my route executes, see https://github.com/01binary/shopper/tree/HandlebarsInitial for a snapshot.

I setup koa middleware to look for templates in projectdir/dist with .html extension. I have layout.html file there (after executing yarn build):

hbs.middleware({
	viewPath: path.resolve(__dirname, '../../dist'),
	extname: '.html'
})

The template looks like this (it was generated by Html Webpack 2 plugin, react dom render goes in "mount"):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8">
		<title>App</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<div id="app">
			{{mount}}
		</div>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/vendor.js?83f7fa2dc8d8f8322d36"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/app.js?83f7fa2dc8d8f8322d36"></script></body>
</html>

I "use" the middleware as directed...
In my "/" route, I have:

route.get('/', async(context) => {
	console.log('about to render layout')
	await context.render('layout', { mount: render() });
})

When I navigate to my app, I see "about to render layout" logged out, but then it gets a 404:

  <-- GET /
about to render layout
  --> GET / 404 9,964ms -

Why doesn't the hbs middleare render? Does it send a 404 or does koa send a 404? I can't understand what's happening and how to debug it.

Thank you!

OK, inattentive readme reading on my part. I switched to using "next" version of koa-hbs:

  "dependencies": {
    "koa": "^2.3.0",
    "koa-hbs": "next",
  },
