config/views.js

This file is where Sails looks to find out which templating engine to use when rendering server side HTML templates. By default Sails uses ejs, but any view engine can be used by changing the extension and supplying a getRenderFn value (see the view engine documentation for more info).

Usage

See sails.config.views for all available options.

Built with Love

The Sails framework is built by a web & mobile shop in Austin, TX, with the help of our contributors. We created Sails in 2012 to assist us on Node.js projects. Naturally we open-sourced it. We hope it makes your life a little bit easier!
