Thanks that worked.

I need to store a token in memory that can be reused by each render. I tried something like this with a custom module but it's being reset on every render.

const state = require('src/state.js');

async function beforeRender(req, res) {
  // should be not null on the second render
  if(!state.getToken()){
       const token = await login();
       state.setToken(token)
  }
  // use token...
} 

Initially I wanted to load the templates as a npm module in jsreport. I didn't think the data folder can be versioned with git. I'll probably do that instead. Thanks for the help.

Hello. Is it possible to configure jsreport to load templates from a separate package ? I would like to store my templates in git and import them without having to copy paste the code manually.
