Generator Express without template engine?

[THCloud]

Hi,
I'm trying to use this generator to do something. But a problem confused me for several days.

Can generator-express provide a new version without template engine?

I wanna use simple HTML files for my angular's route.js, and I don't wanna put these HTML files to
express.static(). That will make me ... uncomfortable.

Any solutions?

This was actually started a while ago and not finished in a PR here: #108. You could take a look there and see how they did it, it'd be great if someone were to pick this up and finish it!

What makes you uncomfortable about putting your HTML in express.static()? It'd need to be publicly available somehow

Hi，
Thanks for your reply
If put HTMLs in express.static(), it means you can visit this HTML by input the file path in browser, isn't it?

I think that's what make me uncomfortable...I think the browser should only show your current state or route, but not your file path, that's why I wanna use angular's route

I got a repo that solved my problem.

Right but you still need to serve the document so angular can load it?

@THCloud you said you have a repo that solved the problem? Can you tell us what you did? I would like to serve my index.html without a template engine as well. But I keep getting weird errors like when the page refresh etc.
