How to update Express.js template in nodeclipse

I have installed latest version of nodeclipse but when i create express.js project i found that the express version is 3.6 and the current is 4.9 so is there any way to update express template in the nodeclipse IDE

Solution

  • Nodeclipse is using express executable (as selected in preferences) to launch it and create express project. Once you have latest express-generator installed

    npm install -g express-generator

    it would add express executable with the same params but for 4.x version of express

    Then Eclipse Nodeclipse preferences should be updated, e.g.

    C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\express-generator\bin\express

    (Will be default starting from Nodeclipse 0.17)
