Trouble changing templating engine

[dadambickford]

Here is my server.js

var logger = require('koa-logger');
var route = require('koa-route');
var views = require('co-views');
var koa = require('koa');

app = koa();

app.use(logger());

app.use(route.get('/', index));
app.use(route.get('/about', about));

var render = views(__dirname + '/views', { map: { html: 'swig' }});

function *index() {
  this.body = yield render('index');
}

function *about() {
  this.body = yield render('about');
}

app.listen(3000);
console.log("App is now running at localhost:3000");

My trouble seems to come on line 13

var render = views(__dirname + '/views', { map: { html: 'swig' }});

I don't want to use any templating engine, or if I have to I'd prefer handlebars. The docs say that the default template extension is html, but if I remove that { map: { html: 'swig' }} I just get 500 errors. I've tried passing in { map: { html: 'html' }}, removing map and passing in default: 'html', just passing in an empty object, and can't seem to figure out how to just use nothing. Everything I've tried gives me a 500 error, but it works perfectly as intended with { map: { html: 'swig' }} included. Thanks for your help.

if you dont want any engine just serve static files

with "send" (in the koa wiki) or a static file middleware ("static")
