Menu
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.net : 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>
