Possibility to use .js extension for views

[bbondy]

Wondering if it's already possible, or if not if it could be made possible to use .js for view extensions. I prefer to transpile my code and babel renames the .jsx to .js in the output directory. I run my server from the dist transpiled directory.

I'm working around it currently with a separate gulp task that uses gulp-extname to force a .jsx extension in the output directory, but it'd be much cleaner if I could just use .js to begin with and have server.render find the .js view.

Thanks for the great project by the way!

Thanks for creating an issue. There is an option you can pass useNodeJsx, which defaults to true. When false we'll skip using node-jsx. Then you could try something like:

server.views({
    engines: {
        js: require('hapi-react-views') // note the key is js instead of jsx
    },
    relativeTo: __dirname,
    useNodeJsx: false,
    path: 'views'
});

I haven't tested this myself, but I'm guessing it could work.

Thank you, I verified this works! For useNodeJsx I got:

[1] "useNodeJsx" is not allowed

But without it, it worked fine. I guess the missing part was just using a js key instead of jsx

for reference - this is what I'm using and it works fine:

server.views({
    engines: {
        js: require("hapi-react-views")
    },
    compileOptions: {
        renderMethod: "renderToString",
        useNodeJsx: false
    },
    relativeTo: __dirname,
    path: "./components"
});
