Node.js + Express without using Jade

Question

Is it possible to use express without any template engine?

Answer 1

For anyone having the need to immediately use regular HTML without jade in a new express project, you can do this.

Add a index.html to the views folder.

In app.js change

app.get('/', routes.index);

to

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.sendfile("views/index.html");
});

UPDATE

Use this instead. See comment section below for explanation.

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.sendFile(__dirname + "/views/index.html"); 
});
