Usage

Extending express functionalities

express-view is a conventional express extension, which means it will extend the functionalities provided on express by augmenting the express app instance.

Here is an example of how to extend an express app with express-view:

var express = require('express'),
    expview = require('express-view'),
    app = express();

// mounting a filesystem attraction
app.set('locator', locatorObj);

// calling a static method to extend the `express` app instance
expview.extend(app);

In the example above, when calling res.render('foo') to response to a request, foo will be treated as a synthetic view name and it will be looked up thru locator. If the template was not compiled by locator, then it will fallback to the default implementation in express, which involves filesystem interaction to try to resolve the view.
