koa-mustache

Mustache template rendering for Koa 2+

Installation

npm i --save @commander-lol/koa-mustache

Example

const path = require('path')
const Koa = require('koa')
const mustache = require('@commander-lol/koa-mustache')

const app = new Koa()

const templatePath = path.join(__dirname, 'views')
app.use(mustache(templatePath))

// Respond to all requests with the template at `./views/index.mustache`
app.use(async ctx => {
  await ctx.render('index')
})

Usage

• Require the module const mustache = require('@commander-lol/koa-middleware')
• Call the function to configure the middleware const middleware = mustache(myTemplateDirectoryPath, myOpts)
• Mount the middleware on your app app.use(middleware)
• The ctx.render function has been added to all subsequent middleware (including routes when using routers). await this function to render the specified params to the ctx body. If the template is not found, the status will be set to 404. If the template path is not a regular file, the status will be set to 500.
