EJS (HTML) code wrapper for SocketStream 0.3
npm install ss-ejs
Add this line of code to your app.js file:
ss.client.formatters.add(require('ss-ejs'));
In the app.js file, pass locals to your view template like this:
ss.client.formatters.add(require('ss-ejs'), {locals: {user: 'Paul'}});
Then, in your views/app.ejs file, load the SocketStream headers like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<%- SocketStream %>
<title>Welcome</title>
</head>
And use the local variables in your ejs template like this:
<h3>Quick Chat Demo for <%= locals.user %></h3>
I've noticed that how we pass local variables to our ejs template isn't flexible in terms of having multiple ejs view templates with different local variables. I will look to resolve this issue in the near future.
