Use in Express.js | LiquidJS - Kiến Thức Cho Người lao Động Việt Nam

LiquidJS is compatible to the express template engines. You can set liquidjs instance to the view engine option:

var
 {
 Liquid }
 =
 require
(
'liquidjs'
)
;
var
 engine =
 new
 Liquid
(
)
;

 
app.
engine
(
'liquid'
,
 engine.
express
(
)
)
; 
app.
set
(
'views'
,
 './views'
)
;             
app.
set
(
'view engine'
,
 'liquid'
)
;

Working Demo

Here’s a working demo for LiquidJS usage in Express.js: liquidjs/demo/express/.

Template Lookup

The root option will continue to work as templates root, as you can see in Render A Template File. Additionally, the views option in express.js (as shown above) will also be respected. Say you have a template directory like:

.
├── views1/
│ └── hello.liquid
└── views2/
  └── world.liquid

And you’re setting template root for liquidjs to views1 and expressjs to views2:

var
 {
 Liquid }
 =
 require
(
'liquidjs'
)
;
var
 engine =
 new
 Liquid
(
{
    root
:
 './views1/'
}
)
;

app.
engine
(
'liquid'
,
 engine.
express
(
)
)
; 
app.
set
(
'views'
,
 './views2'
)
;             
app.
set
(
'view engine'
,
 'liquid'
)
;

Both of hello.liquid and world.liquid can be resolved and rendered:

res.
render
(
'hello'
)
res.
render
(
'world'
)

Caching

Simply setting the cache option to true will enable template caching, as explained in Caching. It’s recommended to enable cache in production environment, which can be done by:

var
 {
 Liquid }
 =
 require
(
'liquidjs'
)
;
var
 engine =
 new
 Liquid
(
{
    cache
:
 process.
env.
NODE_ENV
 ===
 'production'
}
)
;
