Installing

Include Poet in your package.json and add it to your app, passing in your Express app and options. Call the init method and routes will be set up!

var
  express = require('express'),
  app = express(),
  Poet = require('poet');

var poet = Poet(app, {
  posts: './_posts/',
  postsPerPage: 5,
  metaFormat: 'json'
});

poet.init().then(function () {
  // ready to go!
});

/* set up the rest of the express app */
