Adds ejs template engine support to polka
npm install polka-ejsconst 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.ejs 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!
All options with their default values.
app.use(ejs({
views: 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", {
views: 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
htmljustres.render("index")is enough. - Cache uses the simple in memory cache that comes with ejs to override this
require()ejs and change the value ofejs.cachelike examples in their readme - Could possibly work with other frameworks if they have a similar style of middleware but i haven't seen any.
