Using Harp as a library

  /_data.json
  /_harp.json
  /index.jade
/package.json
/server.js

_data.json

{
  "index": {
    "title": "Hello World"
  }
}

_harp.json

{
  "globals": {
    "foo": "bar"
  }
}

index.jade

h1= title
h2= foo

package.json

{
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "3.x",
    "harp": "0.10.x"
  }
}

server.js

var express = require("express");
var harp = require("harp");
var app = express();

app.configure(function(){
  app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/public"));
  app.use(harp.mount(__dirname + "/public"));
});

app.listen(9001);
