Features

Preprocessing

servit transparently compiles .coffee, .ejs, and .styl files and sends the output directly to the browser. No rendered files are written to disk, so your working directory is left in a pristine state.

File extensions are taken literally. If you request .ejs, you'll get EJS:

$ curl http://localhost:3000/foo.ejs:

	<!DOCTYPE html>
	<title>Hello world</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="foo.css">
	<script src="connect-reload.js"></script>
	<script src="foo.js"></script>
	<% include someAnotherTemplate %>

If you want the slightly-more-useful compiled html, request .htm or .html instead:

$ curl http://localhost:3000/foo.html:

	<!DOCTYPE html>
	<title>Hello world</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="foo.css">
	<script src="connect-reload.js"></script>
	<script src="foo.js"></script>
	<p>Some another template content</p>

Same goes for .coffee vs .js and .styl vs .css.

Auto-reload

To enable automatic reloading of a page when a file in your project is created or changed, simply include the virtual connect-reload.js in your markup:

	<script src="connect-reload.js"></script>
