Usage

The usage is pretty straightforward as you can expect for any Starter.

Add Maven dependency

build.gradle

...
dependencies {
  compile "com.domingosuarez.boot:spring-boot-starter-jade4j:0.2"
}
...

pom.xml

<project>
  ...
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.domingosuarez.boot</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jade4j</artifactId>
      <version>0.2</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

Jade templates

Add the jade templates in the following directory

src
└── main
    └── resources
        └── templates
            └── index.jade

Then you can add new Spring MVC controllers as usual

Helpers

You can add helpers automatically using the annotation @JadeHelper

package demo;

import com.domingosuarez.boot.autoconfigure.jade4j.JadeHelper;

@JadeHelper
public class Util {
  public String format(double number) {
    return "some formating";
  }
}

template.jade

html
  head
    title Hello
  body
    h
    h1
      #{util.format(4)} # (1)

The helper name’s is the Spring Bean id

Customize the helper’s name

You can customize the helper’s name using the JadeHelper annotation

package demo;

import com.domingosuarez.boot.autoconfigure.jade4j.JadeHelper;

@JadeHelper("myId") // (1)
public class Util {
  public String format(double number) {
    return "some formating";
  }
}

The new id
