How do I pass content from a template to a layout in Express?

Question

I have a basic Express server:

// server.js:
var Express = require(\'express\');
app = Express.createServer();
app.configure(function(){
  app.set(\'views\', Pat         


        

Answer 1

For Express 3 template agnostic, works well with express-partials

app.use (req, res, next)->
  req.locals = {} unless req.locals

  res.locals.content_for = (k, v = null)->
    if !v
      req.locals[k]
    else
      req.locals[k] = v

  next()
