express req get path code example

Example 1: express render

// send the rendered view to the client
res.render('index')

// if a callback is specified, the rendered HTML string has to be sent explicitly
res.render('index', function (err, html) {
  res.send(html)
})

// pass a local variable to the view
res.render('user', { name: 'Tobi' }, function (err, html) {
  // ...
})

Example 2: response.render

// here you set that all templates are located in `/views` directory
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views');

// here you set that you're using `ejs` template engine, and the
// default extension is `ejs`
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

// here you render `orders` template
response.render("orders", {orders: orders_json});
