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

If using Express it's not necessary to use a View Engine at all, use something like this:

{{ name }} 

This works if you previously set your application to use HTML instead of any View Engine
