Configuring Page Views

Version: 0.5.3

Each page in SourceJS engine is wrapped into parent EJS template, which allows to configure custom <head> section and page markup the way you want. Those may include your linked project styles or even JS frameworks, that you need to render components on the spec pages.

Here are the default page templates:

All the tags in the template are quite straightforward, and here's the special place, where index.src.html (or any other spec extension) content in automatically placed:

...
<div class="source_main source_col-main" role="main">
    <%- content %>
</div>
...

Note: remember that EJS rendering flow also allows you to use it custom templating logic (includes, data import) in spec pages like index.src.html (example.

Re-defining Views

Paths to default templates are easy configurable, as you can also set your own template per any page through info.json.

To override view paths globally change configuration in sourcejs/user/options.js. Following the reference options object, just add the same field with custom value:

{
    rendering: {
        views: {
            spec: [
                '$(user)/my/custom/views/spec.ejs'
            ]
        }
    }
}

This will point the engine to seek for spec EJS template in sourcejs/user/my/custom/views dir. Other available placeholder tags:

  • $(sourcejs) - dir to SourceJS engine root
  • $(context) - dir where configuration file is located

From info.json

To override views per page using info.json, just add proper field to it:

{
    "title": "Page Title",
    "template": "$(context)/template.ejs"
}

Read more about info.json contents in docs.
