Hey guys so I have the following in my app.js file
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const path = require('path');
const hbs = require("express-handlebars");
app.engine(
"hbs",
hbs({
extname: "hbs",
//defaultLayout: "layout",
layoutsDir: __dirname + "/views/layouts/"
})
);
app.set("views", path.join(__dirname, "views"));
app.set("view engine", "hbs");
I also have a file located in server/views/layouts/ that is a handle bars file called share.hbs I also have a file in my server/api/media.js that looks like this
const express = require("express");
const router = express.Router();
const database = require("../db");
router.get("/share", async (req, res, next) => {
res.render("share");
});
But when ever I try to render the file it errors out with the following error
Had to move my file out of the layouts folder and add this to the res.render call
res.render("share.hbs", { layout: "share" });
