Alias include folders?

[max-degterev]

Hi! I'm having a wee bit of a trouble including files.

We had a restructuring of our apps to abstract common parts like js, css and templates, and sometimes I have to do includes like include ../../../../../core/templates/awesome.jade

Is there a way to somehow alias that so I could just use include core/awesome.jade? Similar to NODE_PATH.

I found this filename option, but it's unclear if it does what I want...

Thanks!

filename should always be set to the name of the file you are compiling. It is used to resolve relative includes/extends/etc.

The basedir option does what you're after. It determines what happens for absolute paths.

e.g.

/hello-world/foo.jade

= 'foo'

/hello-world/bar/baz/foo/bing.jade

include /foo.jade

index.js

var str = jade.renderFile('/hello-world/bar/baz/foo/bing.jade', {basedir: '/hello-world'});

results in

foo
