Use locally installed pug

[benadamstyles]

Hey, I have also mentioned this in the other repo which I am using (DougBeney/jekyll-pug#13) but is there any way to make pug-ruby use pug installed locally rather than globally? It is not working with nvm, and also installing globally introduces other problems. If there's any way I can help solve this, please let me know! I'd love to help out if it is at all possible to resolve this issue.

Hi @Leeds-eBooks

Yeah, this may be a problem.

pug-rails is designed in such way which allows to define multiple compiler types. I assume you want to use pug from YOUR_PROJECT_ROOT/node_modules/pug. If so it is very easy to implement. It can be achieved by adding something like Pug::LocalCompiler or Pug::IsolatedCompiler which are almost the same as Pug::SystemCompiler. Compiler will require "#{Dir.pwd}/node_modules/pug" to be present and load pug from it.

This is good question. Thanks. If this fits your needs pls let me know so I can ship release tomorrow.

Yes that is what I mean! Thanks. I think your solution sounds good, but as I am using https://github.com/DougBeney/jekyll-pug as an intermediary lib between my code and pug-ruby, it might be worth checking with @DougBeney to see if he can use this config option.

Very interesting.

@yivo Do you think it would be a good idea to add a way to access this in pug-ruby, such as something likePug.use :project? Then, in case someone has a complicated project setup, they could also define the project directory with something like Pug.project_directory = "src/".
