+## Background
+
+The library makes it easier to use [boxwood](https://github.com/buxlabs/boxwood) as a view engine in [express](https://github.com/expressjs/express). It handles file loading, caching and purging the cache in the development environment.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install boxwood express-boxwood
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```js
+const path = require("path")
+const express = require("express")
+const { compile } = require("boxwood")
+const engine = require("express-boxwood")
+
+const app = require("app")
+
+app.engine("js", engine({ compile }))
+app.set("views", path.join(__dirname, "views"))
+app.set("view engine", "js")
+// other app code
+```
+
+## API
+
+#### compile
+
+You need to explicitly pass the compile method.
+
+#### env = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development'
+
+You can explicitly set the env in which `express-boxwood` is running. It defaults to the development mode, which does not cache the compiled template. Please ensure your `NODE_ENV` is set for your production environment to enable caching.
