# express-plates-examples

  This project goal is to provide very simple example for [express-plate](https://github.com/ArnaudRinquin/express-plates) package.

# express-plates

  This small piece of code allow you to simply use Flatiron's Plate template engine in within Express framework.

# How to

By default, .html views are associated to plates engine. The association is a one line code: `require('express-plates').init(app);`

Here is a more detailed example:

``` js

app = require('express')();

require('express-plates').init(app);

app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');

app.get('/', function(req, res) {

    res.render('index', {

        data: {

            title: 'Plates is pretty cool, so is Express',

            content: 'It seems to work quiet well'

        }

    });

});

app.listen(8080);

```

You may customize the express engine setting:

``` js

var express = = require('express');

var app = express();

var expressPlates = require('express-plates');

app.engine('.plate', expressPlates);

```

# Maps

You can require plates and use Map() easilly :

```js

var expressPlates = require('express-plates');

var plates = require('plates');

app.engine('.html', expressPlates);

app.set('views', __dirname + "/views");

// further in the app...

app.get('/', function(req, res) {

    var map = plates.Map();

    map.class('content').to('content');

    res.render('index', {

        data: {

            content: 'It seems to work quiet well'

        },

        map: map

    });

});

```
