在所有.jade文件上使用Jade引擎，而不管位置如何

Question

I'm using Node and the Express framework for my website, but instead of a separate Views folder, I have a site structure where the .jade files could be anywhere within a static folder.

What's the simplest way of getting jade to compile the templates if they end in .jade? Do I have to write a middleware function for the regex \\.jade$ ? How would I do this?

Answer 1

Use glob. Pattern will be '**/*.jade' https://www.npmjs.org/package/glob

Answer 2

You need to tell node where the templates can be found. Typically, this is done like this

app.set('views', '/static/views');  // templates are found in /static/views folder
