Usage

To use the adapter, invoke the package with the name of the template language you want to use. For example, to use Jade do the following:

var adapter = require('adapter-template');
var jade = adapter('jade');

The adapter will now provide access to an appropriate templating engine for Jade. The key interface is a renderFile() method which takes as parameters:

• a path to a template;
• an object that can be used by that template;
• and a callback.

General Usage

Typical usage would look like this:

jade.renderFile('./test/fixtures/user.jade', { user: 'tobi' }, function (err, html){
  console.log(html);
});

Using With Express

Since the renderFile() method is in the correct format for Express, to use the adapter in Express we only need to do the following:

var express = require('express');
var adapter = require('adapter-template');
var engineName = 'jade';

var app = express();

app.engine(engineName, adapter(engineName).renderFile);
app.set('views', __dirname + '/fixtures');
