express-views-dom-layouts
Layouts support for express-views-dom, the DOM view engine for Express.
Lets you define and override blocks by extending other views as layouts.
Installation
via npm:
$ npm install --save express-views-dom-layoutsUse
First setup express-views-dom - see its README.
Then use as in the following example:
"views/home.html":
<extends from="layout-default">
<block for="title">Home Page</block>
<block for="content">
Welcome home!
</block>
</extends>"views/layout-default.html":
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title><block name="title">Default Title</block></title>
</head>
<body>
<block name="content">
Default content.
</block>
</body>
</html>JavaScript:
// assumes already setup express-views-dom
var domLayouts = require('express-views-dom-layouts');
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
res.render('home', {
render: function (window, done, params) {
domLayouts(window, done, params, function () {
// we now have the fully stitched HTML
// and could do more DOM work if desired
done();
});
}
});
});Results in:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Home Page</title>
</head>
<body>
Welcome home!
</body>
</html>
