How to use .html file extensions for handlebars in express?

So I was able to do this by changing three things in my app.js file I hope this helps everyone out as much as it helped me!

var express  = require('express'),    exphbr   = require('express3-handlebars'), // "express3-handlebars"    helpers  = require('./lib/helpers'),    app = express(),     handlebars;// Create `ExpressHandlebars` instance with a default layout.handlebars = exphbr.create({    defaultLayout: 'main',    helpers      : helpers,    extname      : '.html', //set extension to .html so handlebars knows what to look for    // Uses multiple partials dirs, templates in "shared/templates/" are shared    // with the client-side of the app (see below).    partialsDir: [        'views/shared/',        'views/partials/'    ]});// Register `hbs` as our view engine using its bound `engine()` function.// Set html in app.engine and app.set so express knows what extension to look for.app.engine('html', handlebars.engine);app.set('view engine', 'html');// Seperate route.js filerequire("./routes")(app, express);app.listen(3000);

Agree with JemiloII,

1. extname: '.myext' in the config while creating the expr-HBS instance (exphbr.create()) according to https://www.npmjs.org/package/express3-handlebars#-extname-handlebars-
2. binding the expr-HBS engine to the extension: app.engine('myext', handlebars.engine); according to http://expressjs.com/3x/api.html#app.engine
3. set the extension as view engine: app.set('view engine', 'myext'); - unfortunately no link to how it works.
