koa-nunjucks-2

Lightweight Koa middleware for Nunjucks.

Installation

npm install --save koa-nunjucks-2

NOTE: v3 requires Koa 2 or later. If you're using Koa 1, use v2 of this package.

Usage

Example

const Koa = require('koa');
const app = new Koa();
const koaNunjucks = require('koa-nunjucks-2');
const path = require('path');

app.use(koaNunjucks({
  ext: 'html',
  path: path.join(__dirname, 'views'),
  nunjucksConfig: {
    trimBlocks: true
  }
}));

app.use(async (ctx) => {
  await ctx.render('home', {double: 'rainbow'});
});

Config Options

• ext (default: 'njk'): Extension that will be automatically appended to the file name in ctx.render calls. Set to a falsy value to disable.
• path (default: current directory): Path to the templates. Also supports passing an array of paths.
• writeResponse (default: true): If true, writes the rendered output to response.body.
• functionName (default: 'render'): The name of the function that will be called to render the template.
• nunjucksConfig: Object of Nunjucks config options.
• configureEnvironment: A function to modify the Nunjucks environment. See the [Extending Nunjucks](#Extending Nunjucks) section below for usage.

Global Template Variables

Use ctx.state to make a variable available in all templates.

Extending Nunjucks

Use the configureEnvironment config option to define a function which will receive a Nunjucks Environment as its argument. This allows you to define custom filters, extensions etc.

app.use(koaNunjucks({
  ext: 'html',
  path: path.join(__dirname, 'views'),
  configureEnvironment: (env) => {
    env.addFilter('shorten', (str, count) => {
      return str.slice(0, count || 5);
    });
  }
}));
