Does jSmart support include and extends?

It seems that getTemplate method always return throwing an error.

I think this issue arises because we try to give path relative to the current template while jSmart expects it to be relative to the project. I fixed it by using the code below to over-ride the default include method.

I could do this since I had a very simple Project structure where src/templates/pages contained the current template and src/templates/components contained the template to be included in the current template. I hope this helps.

P.S.: I had to write this code in a place where i had access to variable called file which is the path to the current template.

jSmart.prototype.registerPlugin(
'function',
'include',
function(params, data)
{
var contents = "";
if(path.isAbsolute(params["file"])) {
contents = fs.readFileSync(params['file']);
} else {
var dirName = path.dirname(file); // This is the path of the current template inside the root directory of my project
var filePath = path.resolve(dirName, params["file"]);
contents = fs.readFileSync(filePath, {encoding: 'utf-8'});
}
return contents;

});

This has been fixed in the release v2.15.1
