Template rendering middleware for koa@2.
npm install koa-viewskoa-views is using consolidate under the hood.
NOTE: you must still install the engines you wish to use, add them to your package.json dependencies.
var views = require('koa-views');
const render = views(__dirname + '/views', {
map: {
html: 'underscore'
}
})
// Must be used before any router is used
app.use(render)
// OR Expand by app.context
// No order restrictions
// app.context.render = render()
app.use(async function (ctx) {
ctx.state = {
session: this.session,
title: 'app'
};
await ctx.render('user', {
user: 'John'
});
});For more examples you can take a look at the tests.
If you need to simply render pages with locals, you can install koa-views-render:
npm install koa-views-renderThen simply use it on your routes and its arguments will be passed to ctx.render.
var render = require('koa-views-render');
// ...
app.use(render('home', { title : 'Home Page' }));-
root: Where your views are located. Must be an absolute path. All rendered views are relative to this path -
opts(optional) -
opts.autoRender: Whether to usectx.bodyto receive the rendered template string. Defaults totrue.
const render = views(__dirname, { autoRender: false, extension: 'pug' });
app.use(render)
// OR
// app.context.render = render()
app.use(async function (ctx) {
return await ctx.render('user.pug')
})vs.
const render = views(__dirname, { extension: 'pug' })
app.use(render)
// OR
// app.context.render = render()
app.use(async function (ctx) {
await ctx.render('user.pug')
})opts.extension: Default extension for your views
Instead of providing the full file extension you can omit it.
app.use(async function (ctx) {
await ctx.render('user.pug')
})vs.
const render = views(__dirname, { extension: 'pug' })
app.use(render)
// OR
// app.context.render = render()
app.use(async function (ctx) {
await ctx.render('user')
})opts.map: Map a file extension to an engine
In this example, each file ending with .html will get rendered using the nunjucks templating engine.
const render = views(__dirname, { map: {html: 'nunjucks' }})
app.use(render)
// OR
// app.context.render = render()
// render `user.html` with nunjucks
app.use(async function (ctx) {
await ctx.render('user.html')
})opts.engineSource: replace consolidate as default engine source
If you’re not happy with consolidate or want more control over the engines, you can override it with this options. engineSource should
be an object that maps an extension to a function that receives a path and options and returns a promise. In this example templates with the foo extension will always return bar.
const render = views(__dirname, { engineSource: {foo: () => Promise.resolve('bar')}})
app.use(render)
// OR
// app.context.render = render()
app.use(async function (ctx) {
await ctx.render('index.foo')
})opts.options: These options will get passed to the view engine. This is the time to addpartialsandhelpersetc.
const app = new Koa()
.use(views(__dirname, {
map: { hbs: 'handlebars' },
options: {
helpers: {
uppercase: (str) => str.toUpperCase()
},
partials: {
subTitle: './my-partial' // requires ./my-partial.hbs
},
cache: true // cache the template string or not
}
}))
.use(function (ctx) {
ctx.state = { title: 'my title', author: 'queckezz' }
return ctx.render('./my-view.hbs')
})Set the DEBUG environment variable to koa-views when starting your server.
