I study the MEAN conceptions by this video course by Joe Eames. This course interesting because teach how to use JADE templates as partials instead of HTML.
\bin
\node_modules
\public
\app
\main
someCntr.js
otherCntr.js
main.js
\server
\views
\partials
main.jade
featured-courses.jade
new-courses.jade
And all was going well until he moved this jade templates from \views\includes to \public\app\main and \public\app\courses in his Express 3.4. This trick does not work in my Express 4
his server.js file before
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, '/server/views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
app.get('/partials/:partialPath', function(req, res) {
res.render('partials/' + req.params.partialPath);
});
and after moving
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, '/server/views'));
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
app.get('/partials/*', function(req, res) {
res.render('public/app/' + req.params);
});
You have to update jade to it's latest version:
I'm studying this course too, and I come to same problem... The solution is to use req.params[0]. In server.js file the route to partials views like this:
insted of
app.get('/partials/*', function(req, res) {
res.render('public/app/' + req.params);
});
write:
app.get('/partials/*', function(req, res) {
res.render('../../public/app/' + req.params[0]);
});
