I am using node.js with express web framework and with jade template parser.
I am following the bootstrap examples and have problems with holder.js.
I have put holder.js script into static files (public directory), having in app.js the following:
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
I wanted to display some images with following code in jade template:
img(data-src='/holder.js/500x500/auto')
And it does not work. I checked through the browser and I am able to see holder.js file correctly, but adding any parameters is causing that main page is displayed instead.
I am suspecting that static files handler thinks that there is no such file as holder/500x500/auto and redirects to main page. How can I fix that?
Here is a Runnable with Express and Jade with a couple of Holder placeholders: http://runnable.com/U6IlNqsTu-cR6ZT8/holder-js-in-express-using-jade-for-node-js-and-hello-world
The two placeholders use different themes, with one using the auto
flag.
server.js
:
var express = require('express')
var app = express();
app.set('view engine', 'jade')
app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.render('index')
})
var server = app.listen(80, function(){})
views/index.jade
:
doctype html
html
body
script(src='//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/holder/2.3.1/holder.min.js')
img(data-src='holder.js/200x200/lava/auto')
img(data-src='holder.js/200x200/sky')
