Express + Marko // MarkoImprove this page

Installation

npm install express --save
npm install marko --save

Usage

Marko provides a submodule (marko/express) to add a res.marko method to the express response object. This function works much like res.render, but doesn't impose the restrictions of the express view engine and allows you to take full advantage of Marko's streaming and modular approach to templates.

By using res.marko you'll automatically have access to req, res, app, app.locals, and res.locals from within your Marko template and custom tags. These values are added to out.global.

require('marko/express'); //enable res.marko 
require('marko/node-require').install();
 
var express = require('express');
var template = require('./template.marko');
 
var app = express();
 
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.marko(template, {
        name: 'Frank',
        count: 30,
        colors: ['red', 'green', 'blue']
    });
});
 
app.listen(8080);
