I am kind of confused when it comes down to what is client-side and what is server-side.
I am currently building a website, using Pug for my HTML pages, no HTML pages with <script src="myscripts.js"></script> etc.
So am i rendering my pages Server side, since i don't have any files being loaded in the clients browser? Or is it client side, since the Client can click around and see things being updated?
I think what confuses me, is that normally when i build in Java i have HTML pages with scripts in them. But since i am building both front and backend in Javascript, it's kind of hard for me to understand who is rendering what.
I apologize if it's a huge noob question, but i would really like to understand it once and for all.
Thanks in advance.
In your case, it's server-side rendering, because server compiles Pug to HTML then sends it to the client(already done HTML), unlike client-side frameworks(like angular, react, vue) where HTML page renders on client-side(browser).
