smart-static-jade

Jade rendering engine for smart-static.

Usage

Using the Jade smart-static engine plug-in is pretty easy.

var http = require('http');

var smartStatic = require('smart-static');
var jade = require('smart-static-jade');

var server = http.createServer(smartStatic(__dirname + '/public', {
    engines: [
        jade({
            // Options
        })
    ]
}));

server.listen(8000);

Now .jade files in the /public folder will automatically be compiled, rendered and served as .html files.

Locals

Providing locals for jade renderings is possible using the renderCallback option.

An example on how to use this below (here with Express).

var express = require('express');
var smartStatic = require('smart-static');
var jade = require('smart-static-jade');

var app = express();

app.get('/index.html', function(req, res, next) {
    req.options = {
        // Jade locals
    };
    next();
});

app.use(smartStatic(__dirname + '/public', {
    engines: [
        jade({
            renderCallback: function(req) {
                return req.options;
            }
        })
    ]
}));

In the above example the renderCallback is called whenever Jade is rendering a template. The app.get('/index.html'... route sets the req.options - which is then returned for Jade to use in the callback.
