derby-jade v0.6.21

Derby-Jade

• Jade compiler for Derby
• Derby 0.6 version is the only supported (for previous Derby use 0.5 branch)
• Supports derby-specific tags that ends with : and makes if, else, else if, unless, with, each compile into derby View-variables
• Colons after derby-specific tags are optional
• process.env.DEBUG = 'derby-jade'; enables debug info
• Coffeescript support

Known Issues

• Line numbers in Jade errors can be wrong, because we compile file by parts
• If you on Coffescript, use this.contextfield or @.contextfield to access context and @fieldname to access component fields as in original Derby syntax

Installation

npm install derby-jade

Setting

app.serverUse(module, 'derby-jade');
// before app.loadViews();

Coffeescript

If you want to use Coffeescript instead of Javascript in templates:

app.serverUse(module, 'derby-jade', {coffee: true});

Then you can do something like this:

if a and b
  p 
    a(on-click="console.log c or 'log'") {{d or 'Click Me'}}
  script.
    here = canbe + coffee and script

Usage

Derby.js-specific syntax

Conditionals, each, with

if _session.loggedIn
  h1 Hello, {{_session.username}}
else
  a(href='/login') Login

compiles to

{{if _session.loggedIn}}
    <h1>Hello, {{_session.username}}</h1>
{{else}}
    <a href="/login">Login</a>
{{/}}

Another example:

if _page.flash as #flash
  if #flash.error
    ul.alert.alert-error
      each #flash.error
        li {{this.error}}
  if #flash.info
    ul.alert.alert-success
      each #flash.info as #info
        li {{#info}}
else
  p No notifications

compiles to

{{if _page.flash as #flash}}
    {{if #flash.error}}
        <ul class="alert alert-error">
            {{each #flash.error}}
                <li>{{this.error}}</li>
            {{/}}
        </ul>
    {{/}}
    {{if #flash.info}}
        <ul class="alert alert-success">
            {{each #flash.info as #info}}
                <li>{{#info}}</li>
            {{/}}
        </ul>
    {{/}}
{{else}}
    <p>No notifications</p>
{{/}}
