[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/koa-nunjucks-async.png?downloads=true&downloadRank=true&stars=true)](https://nodei.co/npm/koa-nunjucks-async/)

A Koa Middleware that allows you to render nunjucks templates. [![Nunjucks](https://img.shields.io/badge/Nunjucks-3.1.4-green.svg)](https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/)

Why Build this if you can use other repositories that also supports Koa@2 ?

* Easy to use, Faster since no other dependencies are involved.
* Uses native Async/Await of Nodejs, No other dependencies other than Nunjucks.
* Uses native util.promisify of Nodejs.
* Does not use koa-convert middleware.
* Directly uses nunjucks which means all Nunjucks 'options' are available.

# Other features

* ctx.state are also exposed automatically to all templates. However, ctx.state gets overwritten (just for that instance) in case the same name is passed via context.
* This middlware also exposes nunjucks.renderString which can be called using `ctx.renderString('

{msg}

',{msg:'hello'})` it is the same as render, but renders a raw string instead of loading a template.
* Async filters are accepted and allowed starting version `^1.1.0`

Install
=======

npm install --save koa-nunjucks-async

Initialization
=======

### Example:

const Koa = require('koa');
const nunjucks = require('koa-nunjucks-async');
const app = new Koa();

const nunjucksOptions = {
opts: {
noCache: false,
throwOnUndefined: false
},
filters: {
json: x => JSON.stringify(x, null, 2),
ucfirst: e => typeof e === 'string' && e.toLowerCase() && e[0].toUpperCase() + e.slice(1);
},
globals: { title: 'My Page' },
ext: '.html'
};
// Load other middlewares...
// Load nunjucks last before routes
app.use(nunjucks('views', nunjucksOptions);

// Load your routes...

Note: The nunjucksOptions.opts object is passed directly to `nunjucks` module.

### Available Options(optional) and their Default values.

let settings = {
opts: {
autoescape: true,
throwOnUndefined: false,
trimBlocks: false,
lstripBlocks: false,
watch: false,
noCache: false
},
filters: {},
globals: {},
extensions: {},
ext: '.html'
};

Check https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/api.html#configure for each of the opts description.

Usage
=======

### Syntax

await ctx.render('name_of_template_file',context);

### You can use it with Koa's native routing:

const Koa = require('koa');
const app = new Koa();

app.use(async ctx => {
await ctx.render('template', {
message: 'Hello World!'
});
});

### Or via other router middleware such as Koa-router:

const Router = require('koa-router');
const router = new Router();

router.get('/', async ctx => {
await ctx.render('template', {
message: 'Hello World!'
});
});

### Exposing variables other than context(ctx) by using ctx.state:

const Koa = require('koa');
const app = new Koa();

app.use(async (ctx,next) => {
ctx.state.title = "My Page";
await next();
})

// the variable 'title' is now exposed to all templates unless overwritten by context.
// So using {{ title }} will render "My Page".
app.use(async ctx => {
await ctx.render('template', {
message: 'Hello World!'
});
});
