I was just trying to to wire my express app with template/view engines and when it comes to "hbs" it's Working fine but when I try to render using ejs templating engine it's not working as i expected and i can't find any problem in the code....need some help
Here is the Code i wrote:
const path = require("path");
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const helmet = require("helmet");
app.use(helmet());
app.use(express.static("public"));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded());
app.set("view engine", "ejs");
app.set("views", path.join(__dirname, "views"));
app.get("/", (req, res, next) => {
// res.send("Sanity Check");
// res.json({ msg: "sucess" });
res.render("index");
});
app.listen(3000);
and The Error that I encounter is this:
Error: Cannot find module 'ejs'
