Passing a variable from node.js to html

Question

I am trying to pass a variable from node.js to my HTML file.

app.get(\'/main\', function(req, res) {
  var name = \'hello\';
  res.render(__dirname + \"/view         


        

Answer 1

I found the possible way to write.

Server Side -

app.get('/main', function(req, res) {

  var name = 'hello';

  res.render(__dirname + "/views/layouts/main.html", {name:name});

});

Client side (main.html) -

<%= name %>
