This gem uses pug-ruby to compile Pug/Jade templates. Please refer to that gem if you want to use Pug/Jade compiler directly.
Add to your Gemfile:
gem 'pug-rails', '~> 2.0'Install Jade globally via npm:
npm install -g jadeRequire Jade runtime.js:
//= require jade/runtimeUse .jst.jade as extension of your Jade files.
Install Pug globally via npm:
npm install -g pug-cliRequire Pug runtime.js:
//= require pug/runtimeNOTE: You don't need to do this if you are inlining Pug runtime functions in template. Please read about inlineRuntimeFunctions option at official website — pugjs.org.
Use .jst.pug as extension of your Pug files.
Access Pug and Jade configurations directly:
Jade.config.compile_debug = false
Pug.config.compile_debug = falseAccess Pug and Jade configurations through Rails.application.config:
Rails.application.config.jade.compile_debug = false
Rails.application.config.pug.compile_debug = falseIt doesn't matter where to put Pug/Jade files but don't forget to update asset lookup paths.
Personally I prefer to put templates in app/assets/templates:
# Add app/assets/templates to asset lookup paths
# Add this to your initializers or application.rb
Rails.application.config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join('app/assets/templates')Refer to pug-ruby
Prior to version 2.0 version of the gem was the same as the version of the Jade runtime that it contains.
