Adds theme support for Express views. You can either pass in your themes directory or use the default directory. Essentially wraps an Express app.
##Installation
npm install ocean-themes##Usage
Stand-alone
var OceanThemes = require('ocean-themes');
var themes = new OceanThemes()
var app = themes.app
themes.activateTheme('default')
//other default themes from bootswatch.com
//more to come
//themes.activateTheme('flatly')
//themes.activateTheme('superhero')
app.get('/', function(req, res, next){
res.theme('index', {
page: "Page name"
})
})
//switch theme
app.get('/theme/:name', function(req, res, next){
themes.activateTheme(req.params.name);
res.redirect('/');
})
themes.listen()Or pass in an Express App
var app = express();
var themes = new OceanThemes(app)
//routes
app.listen(3000)Or mount an Express app
var app = express();
var themes = new OceanThemes()
//routes
app.get()
themes.mount(app)
themes.listen()OceanThemes must be instantiated before any routes that plan on using res.theme(). Like any other middleware, order matters.
##Themes All themes must have a config.json. When the theme is activated, the express.static will point to the theme directory. So each theme can have it's own js, css, images, ect folders.
##config.json
specify the name and templating engine
{
"name": "theme name",
"engine": "jade",
"ext": "jade"
}
