The directory.html template should be added in locals

[ghuser]

In case someone wants to add extra content (e.g. an additional script ) in the existing template, it would be good to be able to do it also from inside template function (instead of copying/editing the default template). To achieve this, the default template should be added in locals object passed to template function.

The advantage of this is that on a later package upgrade, the template will be always up-to-date with the authors' version (plus the edits).

Hi @ghuser thanks for the suggestion! Sorry for the delay on the response. If you are still interested, I do have a question on the use-case: given if you have the template in locals object, can you give an example of the code for how you intend to add the additional script?

Like this:

template(locals, callback){
     const $ = require('cheerio').load(locals.template);
     $('head').append(`<script>console.log('hello from injected script')</script>`)
    // I don't know what error should be (function or value) so I leave it `undefined`
    callback(undefined,  $.html());
}
