How to render dust template located in different folders?

[nanachimi]

Hi,

I have the following set up:

app.engine('dust', engines.dust); app.set('view engine', 'dust'); app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, path.join('public', 'templates')));

Now in /public/templates/ i have many subfolders. For expl sub1, sub2 where my templates are located. How can i from the folder /routes/sub1/ render the templates located in /public/templates/sub1.

I have try this: res.render('sub1/index', {title: 'Sub1'}); res.render('sub1.index', {title: 'Sub1'});

but this don't work

Regards Micky

What is engines? Are you using consolidate? If not, which rendering engine?

What express version?

[nanachimi]

yes i'm using consolidate and i hav the express version 4.13.3

This looks pretty reasonable. I will be able to test an example tomorrow. Until then:

Consolidate expects your files to end in .dust unless you pass it a different extension.

If you aren't attached to consolidate, we have an example in the repo using Hoffman: https://github.com/linkedin/dustjs/blob/master/examples/streaming-hoffman/app.js

Thanks! It works with hoffman. Now i can render using res.render('sub1/index', {title: 'Sub1'}); But by using partial (> layout) the engine still look the layout.dust template in the /public/template folder instead of /public/template/sub1/

Yes, template paths in dust are absolute, not relative. I believe a couple people have worked on renderers that automatically transform relative paths.

In dust, template names have to be unique, so you can't register two templates under the name "layout", even if they are in separate folders (the file path is just an implementation detail).
