provide
Express middleware to "provide" resources as both JSON objects and rendered HTML documents.
provides assumes you have a template configured by the same name as the provided object.
Example
var app = require('express')();
/* configure view engine, using Jade (defaults to ./views/) */
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
/* enable the use of res.provide */
app.use( require('provide') );
/* an example route */
app.get('/thing', function(req, res, next) {
res.provide('thing', {
thing: { foo: 'bar' }
});
});
app.listen(3000);
Results
> curl -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:3000/thing
{"foo": "bar"}Requesting an HTML version of that "thing" will give you exactly that:
> curl -H "Accept: text/html" http://localhost:3000/thing
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
