- A Node.js file to produce the data for the ejs template (list.js)
- An EJS file for the HTML template (list.ejs)
response.render() connects the Node.js code to the EJS file. For example:
function list(request, response) {
var customers = pjs.query("SELECT customerName FROM customers");
response.render("list.ejs", { customers });
}
The Node.js file must be setup as an Express route:
