Express Vento

An Experimental Express.js template engine for Vento

:warning: Supports ES Modules syntax only

Installation

npm install express-vento

Usage

Set the 'view engine' to ventoEngine inside index.js

// index.js

import express from 'express';
import ventoEngine from 'express-vento';

const app = express();
app.set('views', './views');

app.engine('vto', ventoEngine);
app.set('view engine', 'vto'); 

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.render('index', { title: 'Vento', body: 'Hello world!' });
});

const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;

app.listen(port, () =>
  console.log(`Server listening at http://localhost:${port}`)
);

Then create a sample views/index.vto file

<!-- views/index.vto -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

</head>
<body>
  <h1>{{heading}}</h1>

</html>
