koa-render

koa-render

Add a render() method to koa that allows you to render almost any templating engine.

Extending koa by adding a render() method has the advantage that you can define your views settings once and have them available in each of your koa sub-apps.

Installation

$ npm i --save koa-render

Usage

views(path, engine, [options])

Use views in a koa middleware with given options and yield it to this.body. Koa-render finds your given template relative to the path that you set. engine can be any templating engine that is supported by consolidate.js

app.use(views('./example', 'jade'));
 
app.use(router.get('/', function *(next) {
  this.body = yield this.render('index');
}));

Note: Make sure that you define views() before you mount other koa apps.

For a full example take a look at the ./example folder.
