Polka EJS

Adds ejs template engine support to polka

Install

npm install polka-ejs

Usage

const polka = require("polka");
const ejs = require("polka-ejs");

const app = polka();

app.use(ejs());

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.render("index.ejs", { number: 5 });
});

app.listen(3000);

Create a views/index.js with the following

<html>
  <body>
    <h1>The Number is <%= number %></h1>
  </body>
</html>

Now visiting http://localhost:3000 will display the number 5 on the page!

Options

All options with their default values.

app.use(ejs({
  path: path.join(process.cwd(), "views"),
  cache: process.env.NODE_ENV === "production",
  contentType: "text/html",
  status: 200,
  ext: "ejs",
  options: {}
}));

Options can be overriden per call basis aswell

res.render("index", {
  path: path.join(__dirname, "secretViewsJustForThisRoute"),
  status: 500,
  contentType: "text/html",
  cache: false,
  ext: "html",
  options: {}
});

Few things to note

ext is used if the extension is not provided in the render call, i.e lets you make views/index.html and if ext is set to html just res.render("index") is enough.
Cache uses the simple in memory cache that comes with ejs to override this require() ejs and change the value of ejs.cache like examples in their readme
Could possibly work with other frameworks if they have a similar style of middleware but i haven't seen any.
