provide

=======

Express middleware to "provide" resources as both JSON objects and rendered HTML documents.

provides assumes you have a template configured by the same name as the provided object.

## Example

```javascript

var app = require('express')();

/* configure view engine, using Jade (defaults to ./views/) */

app.set('view engine', 'jade');

/* enable the use of res.provide */

app.use( require('provide') );

/* an example route */

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

  res.provide('thing', {

    thing: { foo: 'bar' }

  });

});

app.listen(3000);

```

### Results

```

> curl -H "Accept: application/json"  http://localhost:3000/thing

{"foo": "bar"}

```

Requesting an HTML version of that "thing" will give you exactly that:

```

> curl -H "Accept: text/html" http://localhost:3000/thing

...

```
