How do I pass content from a template to a layout in Express?

Question

I have a basic Express server:

// server.js:
var Express = require(\'express\');
app = Express.createServer();
app.configure(function(){
  app.set(\'views\', Pat         


        

Answer 1

Express does not have a preconceived notion of "blocks" or whatever they call that in in rails, but you can use a combination of helpers() and dynamicHelpers() to achieve something similar http://expressjs.com/guide.html#app-helpers-obj-

Locals passed are available to both the layout and the page view though
