`render` method

by default all files to render suppose to be located in the directory views

create a nisim.html page under the views directory

app.get('/king', (req, res) => {
	res.render('nisim');
});

it won’t work because no default engine was specified

we will use engine ejs

npm install ejs

it’s usefull to install the ejs extension fo r vscode

rename nisim.html to nisim.ejs

app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

app.get('/shlomo', (req, res) => {
	res.render('nisim');
});

nisim.ejs

<html>
	<body>
		<h1>
			<%= 2 + 2 %>
		</h1>
	</body>
</html>

add arguments to render

app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

app.get('/shlomo', (req, res) => {
	res.render('nisim', { pokemon: 'pikachu' });
});

nisim.ejs

<html>
	<body>
		<h1>
			<%= locals.pokemon %>
		</h1>
	</body>
</html>
