How to completely redefine `res.render` method?

[Alexander Baumgertner]

I would like to completely redefine res.render method: my template engine is not compatible with consolidate.

I decided to use hook for it, but can't understand, how I can to write my own realization of res.render.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!

So, I think, I figured out this questions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28346085/how-to-completely-redefine-res-render-method-in-salsjs/28786103#28786103

You can do the same as here lib/hooks/views/index.js (in your sails hook)

sails.on('router:before', function() {
    sails.router.bind('/*', function(req, res, next) {
        // here you can reimplement the res.render method, of example:
         res.render = function render(data) {
             // For access `req` data in your template engine,
             // many useful info stored here like:
             // req.options.controller – current `controller`
             // req.options.action – current `action`
             data.req = req;

             var html = yourTemplateEngineRender(data);

             res.set({
                 'Content-Type': 'text/html',
                 'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(html, 'utf8')
             });

             res.send(html);
         } 
    }, 'all');
});
