How do you change the default file extension for Vash? I would like syntax highlighting in Visual Studio 2015, so I want to change the extension from .vash to .html.
I read that I should be able to do something like:
app.engine("html", require("vash").__express);
But I can't figure out the syntax, or I have the commands in the wrong order.
I have the code working with .vash files, but if I try to change to .html, I get the following error. I have confirmed that there does exist an index.html file in that folder.
Failed to lookup view "index" in views directory IQuestions.FrontEnd\views"
