Candlewax

Candlewax is a fork of Terraform for use with Wick web server. It includes support for Nunjucks and may be completely altered in the future.

Ideally, this is what we want:

• A powerful templating language (Nunjucks) that is familiar and supports layouts.
• No more errors from node-sass. This may require switching libraries or commitment to using LESS.

Until we can achieve these things with Harp, we feel it's worth keeping a fork. But who knows? Maybe this well become something greater. For now, use this at your own risk.

Terraform is the pre-processor engine for the Harp web server. Terraform does not write or serve files. It processes and provides a layout/partial paradigm.

Features

• pre-processorse
• layouts
• partials
• metadata (via _data.json)
• LRU cache (production mode)

Supported Pre-Processors

HTML – EJS, Jade, Markdown, Nunjucks CSS – LESS, Stylus, Sass (SCSS) JavaScript – CoffeeScript

Install

npm install candlewax

• globals (Object): global variables to be available to every template
