Template rendering consolidation library. This module is a fork of co-views. You probably should use co-views except you have to render templates synchronously.
- To use
React, bothreactandreact-domneed to be installed. Also react component needs to be transpiled beforehand.
$ npm install sync-views
And install whichever engine(s) you use:
$ npm install react react-dom jade
mapan object mapping extension names to engine names [{}]. If not provided, default to [{ jade: 'jade', js: 'react' }]defaultdefault extension name to use when missing [html]cachecached compiled functions [NODE_ENV != 'development']
For example if you wanted to use "react" for .js files you would simply pass:
{ map: { js: 'react' } }Set the default template extension when none is passed to the render function. This defaults to "jade". For example if you mostly use Jade, then you'd likely want to assign this to:
{ default: 'jade' }Allowing you to invoke render('user') instead of
render('user.jade').
When true compiled template functions will be cached in-memory, this prevents subsequent disk i/o, as well as the additional compilation step that most template engines perform. By default this is enabled when the NODE_ENV environment variable is anything but "development", such as "stage" or "production".
Render several users with different template engines in parallel. View
lookup is performed relative to the ./examples directory passed,
and the "react" engine is mapped to ".js" files.
var views = require('sync-views');
var render = views('examples', {
map: { js: 'react' }
});
var html = render('user', { user: tobi });
console.log(html);Dependending on your choice of application structure, you may wish to
share these same settings between all of your application, instead of
constantly initializing sync-views. To do this simply create a views.js
module and export the render function returned:
var views = require('sync-views');
module.exports = views('views', {
map: {
js: 'react',
}
});
