sails-generate-viewhelpers
A simple (very simple) service for using express-helpers (https://github.com/mhayashi/express-helpers) in your SailsJs app.
Installation
Install just like a normal npm package:
npm install -g sails-generate-viewhelpers
Then run the generator in your project's directory:
sails generate viewhelpers
And then install the express-helpers package:
npm install express-helpers --save
Usage
The service exposes a vh object from which you can access the helpers:
- date_tag
- form_tag
- form_tag_end
- hidden_field_tag
- input_field_tag
- link_to
- submit_link_to
- link_to_if
- link_to_unless
- password_field_tag
- select_tag
- single_tag_for
- start_tag_for
- submit_tag
- tag
- tag_end
- text_area_tag
- text_tag
- text_field_tag
- url_for
- img_tag
So if for example you want to use the lin_to helper in your view:
<%- vh.link_to('my link title', '/url') %>
