ES6Views
View Engine for ExpressJS. Write your views using ES6 Template Strings. Simple, fast, extensible.
Installation
npm install --save es6viewsUsage
// where ever you setup your view engine for ExpressJS
const esviews = require("es6views")
esviews.viewEngine(app)
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'))
app.set('view engine', 'es6')Templates
First off, create your base layout which will hold all the common logic for your views
const Layout = require("es6views").Layout
class MyLayout extends Layout {
parse() {
let markup = `<head>
<title>${this._data.title}</title>
</head>
<body>`
markup += [this.header(), this.content(), this.footer()].join("")
markup += `</body>`
this._markup = markup
}
header () {
const data = this.data
return `<header>${data.title}</header>`
}
content () {
return ``
}
footer () {
return `<footer>2008-${(new Date()).getFullYear() Dezine Zync Studios. All Rights Reserved.}</footer>`
}
}
module.exports = MyLayoutThen, inside a page template, you can do the following:
const MyLayout = require('./mylayout.es6')
class Posts extends MyLayout {
content () {
const data = this.data
const posts = data.posts
return posts.map(post => {
return `<article>${post.body}</article>`
}).join("")
}
}
module.exports = PostsYou can then use it in your route like so:
router.get('/posts', (req, res) => {
let locals = Object.assign({}, res.locals, {
posts: posts
})
res.render('projects', locals)
})
