Simple electron protocol to compile Jade files on the fly

electron jade

This module is a simple protocol handler for electron which takes care of all URLs with jade scheme. It compiles .jade files on the fly and the rest of the requests are just handles as simple (local) file requests.

Installation

npm install electron-jade

Usage

Just initialize this module with desired options for Jade package after the main BrowserWindow is created:

'use strict';

var app = require('app');
var j = require('./util/jade-protocol.js')({pretty: true});
var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window');

// Standard stuff

app.on('ready', function () {
  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 });

  mainWindow.loadUrl('jade://' + __dirname + '/index.jade');
  // the rest...
});

Disclaimer: this module is in its very early stages and the logic is still not mature enough.

Even more!
