This chapter will discuss the background and underlying reasons behind the invention of Jade.
The following is a look into the official website for Jade:
Jade is a templating engine built on Node.js (to be used for Node.js) and has since become fairly popular among the JavaScript community. It supports layouts, mixins, and embedded JavaScript. All of these features will be explored in this chapter. For instance, this chapter will cover the usage of mixins to generate comments and relevant posts for a given blog post.
The power behind Jade lies in its elegance. Using Jade, developers can now iterate with massive amounts of HTML templates without having to worry about overlapping code and lack of flexibility.
