How to render basic HTML view with JavaScript?

Spread the love

To render basic HTML view with JavaScript, we use Express.

For instance, we write

const express = require("express");
const app = express.createServer();

app.set("view options", { layout: false });
app.use(express.static(__dirname + "/public"));

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.render("index.html");
});

app.listen(8080, "127.0.0.1");

to call app.get with the URL for the route and the route handler.,

In it, we call res.render to render index.html to the user.

index.html is in the /public folder of the project since we call express.static with __dirname + "/public" to make __dirname + "/public" the static file path.
