Example Node.js Express Registration of Underscore.js as a Viewer?

Question

Underscore.js does not have a compilation function like ejs and jade, but it works like a Node.js module. Someone please give an example of how to make it work in an Express application?

Answer 1

var _ = require('underscore'); app.register('.html', { compile: function (str, options) { var template = _.template(str); return function (locals) { return template(locals); }; } }); 

Answer 2

Now with express 3.0 this is a little different. Simple solution: https://github.com/haraldrudell/uinexpress

 npm install uinexpress 

then

 app.configure(function () { app.engine('html', require('uinexpress').__express) app.set('view engine', 'html')
