This small piece of code allow you to simply use Flatiron's Plate template engine in within Express framework.

Example - How to

Here is a simple example to render a /views/index.html

``js
app = require('express').createServer();
require('express-plates').init(app);

app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.render('index', {
data: {
title: 'Plates is pretty cool, so is Express',
content: 'It seems to work quiet well'
}
});
});

app.listen(8080);
`

Detailed setup and options

Maps

init(app) returns the plates object so you can retrieve it and use Map() easilly :

`js
var plates = require('express-plates').init(app);

// further in the app...

app.get('/', function(req, res) {
var map = plates.Map();

map.class('content').to('content');

res.render('index', {
data: {
content: 'It seems to work quiet well'
},
map: map
});
});
