## Usage

```js

var jsmartExpress = require('jsmart-express');

// Register '.smarty' extension with The Mustache Express

app.engine('smarty', jsmartExpress());

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

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

```

## Parameters

The mustacheExpress method can take one parameter: the directory of the partials. When a partial is requested by a template, the file will be loaded from `path.resolve(directory)`. By default, these value is determined by Express.

## Properties

The return function has a `cache` parameter that is an [LRU Cache](https://github.com/isaacs/node-lru-cache).

```js

var engine = jsmartExpress();

var cache = engine.cache; // Caches the full file name with some internal data.

```

Note that jSmart also has its own cache for partials. You can always use `nocache` attribute for partials for disbling jSmart cache.
