An example of what I'd like to be able to do in Jade.

head
body
  //- Currently this is the norm and works find
  include path/to/partial  

  //- This is what I want to be able to do - provide the base directory from the route/rendering data.
  include #{dir_from_route}/to/partial

How would you do such at the route/middleware layer?

A-like so:

app.use(function (req, res, next) {
  res.locals.renderSomething = function (filename, locals) {
    // Presumably, you'd use the jade module to render the file to a string here

    // Return the rendered string.
    return results;
  };

  next();
});

Then, in your views:

div.renderedStuff= renderSomething("your filename.jade", locals);
