koa-pug-middleware v0.1.4

koa-pug-middleware

This is a Koa middleware wrapper for Pug template engine.

Compare to koa-pug, this middleware has the following features:

1. More elegant API, no need to pass app to Pug constructor.
2. Follows KISS principle, keep more things to Pug.
3. Support koa@2 only.
4. Support pug@3 only.
5. Add context.setLocal method, so you can set locals in middleware.

Installation

npm install -s koa-pug-middleware

Usage

Mount the middleware

Use Pug options to initialize the middleware:

import * as Koa from 'koa';
import * as pug from 'koa-pug-middleware';

const app = new Koa();

app.use(pug({
  debug: false,
  cache: true,        // NOTE: set to false in development
  pretty: false,
  compileDebug: false,
  locals: {
    globalFoo: 'bar'  // You can set global locals here
  },
  basedir: './views'
}));

context.setLocal(key, value)

Parameters:

• key - The key of the local variable.
• value - The value of the local variable.

app.use(async (ctx) => {
  ctx.setLocal('foo', 'bar');  // You can set locals here
});

context.render(view, locals, options?)

Parameters:

• view - The path of the view file. Relative to the basedir option. You can omit the extension name.
• locals - The locals for the view.
• options - The options for the view. See Pug options. Will override the options in the middleware.

app.use(async (ctx) => {
  await ctx.render('index', {
    foo: 'bar'  // You can set locals here
  });
});
