html-include
Process .html files as ejs templates from the document_root
usage
Create a html-include handler for a folder full of .html files:
var htmlinclude = require('html-include');
var app = express();
var includes = htmlinclude({
// the root folder with our .html files
document_root:__dirname + '/www',
// allow '/contact' = '/contact.html'
allowdirs:true,
})
// this registers the .html -> ejs template handler
includes.setup(app);
// we can fill in page specific template variables here
includes.on('page', function(filepath, vars){
if(filepath.match(/\/contact/){
vars.title = 'Contact Page';
}
})
// your application routes
app.get('/my/app/etc', function(req, res, next){
})
// mount the actual file server
app.use(includes.serve)Inside each .html file we can use the 'include' function for things like headers and footers:
index.html
<% include header.html %>
This is the index page
<% include footer.html %>header.html
<html>
<head>
<title><%= pagetitle %></title>
</head>
<body>footer.html
</body>
</html>page events
each time a template is rendered - the 'page' event is fired with the originating request and a vars object to be populated:
includes.on('page', function(filepath, vars){
if(filepath.match(/\/contact/){
vars.title = 'Contact Page';
}
else if(filepath.match(/\/shop/){
vars.title = 'Shop Page';
}
})render
you can call the render method from elsewhere in your logic:
app.get('/mypath', function(req, res, next){
if(req.params.flag){
includes.render('/myflag.html', {
flag:true
})
}
else{
next();
}
