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 have achieved this by a http API node request which returns required object from node object for HTML page at client ,

for eg: API: localhost:3000/username

returns logged in user from cache by node App object .

node route file,

app.get('/username', function(req, res) {
    res.json({ udata: req.session.user });
    });
