Alright, here's my issue: I have an HTML page I am quite happy with, but I wish to make it dynamic. I am using Node with Express, and I was wondering if there was any way to modify and then render plain HTML. I will not be using Jade or any other template engines.
My server.js:
var http = require('http');
var express = require('express');
var app = express()
var port = 3000;
var api_router = express.Router();
....
api_router.route('/webm/test/')
.get(function(req, res){
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/test.html")
})
app.use('/api/', api_router);
app.listen(port);
console.log("NodeJS Backend API running.");
Currently this does not work (no templating engine for HTML found). It also does not fulfill my needs: I wish to set the "src='blah.webm'" in a tag depending on the GET req.
This is my page I wish to modify:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Index</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../stylesheet.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<a href="../index.html"><p>../</p></a>
<p>TrentV : Trent VanSlyke</p>
</div>
<div class="container" style="display: flex">
<video id="player" src="CUSTOMIZE ME" controls></video>
<div id="related">
</div>
<script src="webm.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Reset to default 5You can use express view templating like described here
then use ejs make a folder templates and add registermessage folder in it and place html.ejs for html file, style.ejs for css and text.ejs for text response.
var templateDir = path.join(__dirname, "../../../", 'templates', 'registermessage')
var resetpassword = new EmailTemplate(templateDir)
//var user = {name: 'Joe', pasta: 'spaghetti'}
// the dynamic variable to replace
var locals = {
message: message,
email: email
};
resetpassword.render(locals, function (err, temp) {
if (err) {
console.log("error" + err + "results" + temp);
// console.log( temp.html);
res.send(temp.html);
//next(error, null);
} else {
//console.log(temp.html)
res.send(temp.html);
// next(null, "email sent");
}
})
}
<%message %> will replace dynamically html.ejs
<html lang="en" ng-app="xenon-app">
<head>
</head>
<body class="page-background" >
<div class="login-container" >
<!-- Your email id email -->
<p style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><%=message %></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You can use angular in node so that you can use like this ...
make
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="xenon-app">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<script src="/assets/js/angular.js"></script>
<script>
var app = angular.module( "xenon-app", [] );
app.controller( "resetPasswordController",function($scope,$http,) {
//some http calls of node and render that data in the page by $scope
$http({
method: 'GET',
url: 'http://localhost:3000/someUrl'
}).then(function successCallback(response) {
// this callback will be called asynchronously
$scope.name=response.name;
// when the response is available
}, function errorCallback(response) {
// called asynchronously if an error occurs
// or server returns response with an error status.
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="resetPasswordController">
<p>
{{name}}
</p>
</body>
</html>
and render this page by
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/test.html")
