How to precompile Pug (Jade) templates in a NodeJS + Express.js application?

Question

JavaScript

Hello!
There is a web application running in Node.js + Express.js + Pug bundle . You can set the environment variable " NODE_ENV=production ", then the Pug template engine will cache already compiled templates. But I want to immediately slip the precompiled application templates so that the optimization is already on the 1st launch.
How can I do that?

Answer 1

what for? Write static right away!

Answer 2

In general, the options, as I understand it, are:
1. Accept and just use the environment variable "NODE_ENV=production"
2. Use the express-pug-cache-helper package . But here we need 2 instances of express. One is for basic work, the other is for template caching.
3. Use precompilation of templates with crutches, then replace the template engine with production.

Sending an empty request is not an option?
