Is there any way to use multiple view engines with Express + Node.js


Scenario: I had developed some transactional pages using Node.js, Express + Handlebars as view engine and MongoDB.

Now the issue is during module integration I got some of the pages which are built on Express + Jade as view engine.

Question: How to integrate pages built on Handlebars & some on Jade?


Solution

    1. Add both engines and consolidate.js in your package.json
    2. In yourapp.js

      var engines = require('consolidate');

      app.engine('jade', engines.jade);

      app.engine('handlebars', engines.handlebars);
