javascript - Passing a variable from node.js to html

Question

I am trying to pass a variable from node.js to my HTML file.

app.get('/main', function(req, res) {
  var name = 'hello';
  res.render(__dirname + "/views/layouts/main.html", {name:name});
});

Answer 1

I figured it out I was able to pass a variable like this

<script>var name = "<%= name %>";</script>
console.log(name);
