Encountering a type error with Express Router middleware. See below for the code snippets and error details. Any assistance is appreciated?
The application is functioning properly, but when attempting to access the URL in the browser, the following error is displayed in the console.
Here is the content of my app.js file
app.js
//jshint esversion:6
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const app = express();
app.use("view engine", "ejs");
app.get("/", function(req, res) {
// res.send("Hello");
var today = new Date();
console.log(date);
var currentDay = today.getDay();
var day = "";
console.log(currentDay);
if (currentDay === 6 || currentDay === 0) {
// res.send("yay! it's weekend. ");
day = "weekend";
} else {
day = "weekday";
}
res.render("list", {
kindOfDay: day
});
});
app.listen(3000, function() {
console.log("server started at port 3000");
});
Below is list.ejs file structure
list.ejs
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>to do list</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>It's a <%= kindOfDay %>!</h1>
</body>
</html>
