Configuring backbone and grunt+yeoman to use jade

I'm new to the whole yeoman and grunt scene and I want to know how I can use Jade templates for my backbone views. I downloaded the yeoman backbone generator and ran yo backbone:view email. The generator then created this email-view.js file:

/*global define*/

define([
    'jquery',
    'underscore',
    'backbone',
    'templates',
], function ($, _, Backbone, JST) {
    'use strict';

    var EmailView = Backbone.View.extend({
        template: JST['app/scripts/templates/email.ejs']
    });

    return EmailView;
});

Along with an empty email.ejs file. Is there a way I can get use jade as my templating engine? Is it something I have to set up in my Gruntfile?

I haven't used the backbone generator but you can update the yeoman's live reload to compile jade templates as per the instruction below:

After you made the changes above to Gruntfile.js, the idea is after you use 'yo backbone:view email' you then need to update the generated ejs file to jade manually.

Jade is not supported by backbone generator at present. You can open an feature request on Github.

Right now backbone generator supports only ejs, mustache and handlebars templates.
