electron-pug v2.0.0

electron pug

This module is a simple file protocol interceptor for electron which compiles all (local) URLs to files with .pug extension (e.g /home/electron-pug/index.pug) on the fly.

Installation

npm install electron-pug

Usage

Just initialize this module with desired options for Pug package and your locals:

'use strict';

const {app, BrowserWindow} = require('electron')
const locals = {/* ...*/}
const setupPug = require('electron-pug')

// Standard stuff

app.on('ready', async () => {
  try {
    let pug = await setupPug({pretty: true}, locals)
    pug.on('error', err => console.error('electron-pug error', err))
  } catch (err) {
    // Could not initiate 'electron-pug'
  }

  let mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 })

  mainWindow.loadURL(`file://${__dirname}/index.pug`)
  // the rest...
})
