Use a variable in a Jade include

Question

I\'m working with Jade and Express and I would like to use a variable in my include statement. For example:

app.js

app.get(\'/admin\', function (req,         


        

Answer 1

this also works:

//controller
var jade = require('jade');
res.render('show', {templateRender: jade.renderFile});


//template
!= templateRender('my/path/'+dynamic+'.jade', options)

This probably will not increase the performance that you would expect from using the 'view cache' setting (it's on by default in NODE_ENV === 'production'). Or even break the app (e.g. if files are not available on the hard drive while deploying new code). Also trying to use this trick in a client-side or isomorphic app will not work because the template can not be compiled.
