Express JS App Render Method
The app.render() method is used for returning the rendered HTML of a view using the callback function. This method accepts an optional parameter that is an object which contains the local variables for the view.
This method is similar to the res.render() function with the difference that it cannot send the rendered view to the client/user itself.
Syntax
app.render(view, [locals], callback)
Example
Create a file with the name "appRender.js" and copy the following code snippet. After creating the file, use the command "node appRender.js" to run this code.
// app.render() Method Demo Example
// Importing the express module
const express = require('express');
// Initializing the express and port number
var app = express();
// Initializing the router from express
var router = express.Router();
var PORT = 3000;
// Setting up the view engine
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
// Rendering the email.ejs content from view
app.render('email', function (err, html) {
if (err) console.log(err);
console.log(html);
});
// App listening on the below port
app.listen(PORT, function(err){
if (err) console.log(err);
console.log("Server listening on PORT", PORT);
});
email.ejs
Now, create the file "email.ejs" and save it in the views folder.
