You will have to setup your node.js project to use a template engine like jade.
app.js
By doing that you need to install jade with npm and require the dependency into your project.
var express = require('express');
var jade = require('jade');
var app = express();
Then you have to tell express.js to use the jade template engine.
app.set('view engine', 'jade');
Then you use the render function to render the index.jade with the second param as an object.
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.render('index', {
msg: 'Hi'
});
}
views/index.jade
The #{msg} placeholder will then be compiled into 'Hi'.
html
body
h1 #{msg}
