View Engines

The default view engine in Sails is EJS.

Swapping out the view engine

To use a different view engine, you should use npm to install it in your project, then set sails.config.views.engine (in config/views.js.)

For example, to switch to jade, run npm install jade --save-dev, then set engine: 'jade' in config/views.js.
