I have a view logic in my jade template file. How can I pass model in to jade and get html for further sending by email ?

You can try the following:
var jade = require('jade'),
fs = require('fs');
fs.readFile('template.jade', 'utf8', function (err, data) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(data);
var fn = jade.compile(data);
var html = fn({name:'Oleg'});
console.log(html);
});
Where template.jade is the path to your template. And it look like this:
!!!
html
head
title= 'Hello world'
body
p Hello #{name}!
So you pass your model as input of the fn() function, and the output of it will be the html.
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Hello world</title></head><body><p>Hello Oleg!</p></body></html>
Also you can catch the string from render callback (express example)
exports.test1 = function(req, res){
res.render('test1', { title: 'test1' }, function(err, body) {
console.log(body);
});
res.send('wooo');
};
test1.jade
div
= title
p hello world!
Opening the template with fs.readFile() is no longer necessary. The Jade API includes the compileFile() method that compiles directly from a file.
var jade = require("jade");
var locals = {name: "Linus"},
render = jade.compileFile('template.jade'),
html = render(locals);
The Jade API also includes the renderFile() method that directly returns an html string from a given file, making it even simpler.
var jade = require("jade");
var locals = {name: "Linus"},
html = jade.renderFile('template.jade', locals);
The answers all work for loading the jade template and compiling it to HTML using locals. However if you are sending HTML emails you need to be aware that most clients strip out all CSS classes. Use Juice (or something like it) to apply all of the CSS classes inline.
