A dust template engine for express framework. it can be use to fetch templates from multiple sources like - fileSystem (templates defined under views folder), databases (Mongo, MySql) and any other place.
Requiring using common js pattern.
var xDust = require('xdust');
app.engine('dust', xDust(app).__express());
app.set('view engine', 'dust');
Here app is an Express Application.
xDust(express_app, reader, redisClient);
Example reading from mongodb
var mongoReader = {
source: 'db',
read: function(fullPath, templateName, cb){
//reading from defined Template Model
Template.findOne({name,templateName},function(err, doc){
if(err, !doc) return cb(err, doc.body);
return cb(new Error('Template not found!'));
});
}
};
app.engine('dust', xDust(app, [mongoReader,...]).__express());
app.set('view engine', 'dust');
Define the source as db.
response.render('db:xyz');
Pass the redisClient in xDust and application will use a centralized caching mechanism. Which may help you in clearing cache in scalable Architecture. Todo so, you can use followings
xDust().cache.flushAll(optionalCallBack);
or
xDust().cache.flush('key',optionalCallBack);
CacheCaching of compiled template inside dust.Caching of template strings read from sources.
