[SOLVED] New app won't scaffold with Jade templates

New app won't scaffold with Jade templates

When scaffolding a new tower js app i execute

tower new demo --views jade

but i still get the default CoffeeKup layouts.

Any help with this would be great

Solution

This feature hasn't been implemented yet, only the command line flags have been setup so far. Here are the generator templates:

To add this feature all that needs to be done is to wire the command line flags to the viewGenerator.coffee and appGenerator.coffee files:

view generator script: src/tower/server/generator/generators/tower/view/viewGenerator.coffee#L19
the generator object gets passed a program variable: src/tower/server/generator.coffee#L20
and here's the application generator command parser to see the variables set on the program: src/tower/server/command/new.coffee

So all that needs to be done is modify that viewGenerator.coffee script to something like:

for view in views
  @template "#{view}.coffee", "app/views/#{@view.directory}/#{view}.#{@program.engine}"

I would help implement this but don't have the time at the moment, working on merging the dev branch to master. Hope that helps.
