Sample Templating

This sample app demonstrates the use of ejs templates.

Installation

• git clone https://github.com/DWDatITP/sample-templates-ejs.git
• cd sample-templates-ejs
• npm install
• nodemon server.js
• open http://localhost:5000

Adding EJS to your existing app

• This will download the ejs module and update your package.json to list it (important for when you deploy to Heroku):
• npm install --save ejs
• Then, update your server.js file to set the app's view engine to ejs:
• app.set('view engine', 'ejs'); # Here it is in the server.js code.
• Next, create a folder called "views"
• Now, in your app's handler you can call res.render('viewName'). The app will look up a file called 'viewName.ejs' in your views folder and render it.
