Recently, I started working with node.js and using MEAN stack for my project. In the footer of my project, I have an option to "Subscribe email". Due to constraints in the architecture, I am unable to utilize Angular for displaying flash messages as I don't have a controller. Therefore, I need to display the flash message using plain node.js.
Below is a snippet from my server.js file:
var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app = express();
var session = require('express-session');
var flash = require('express-flash-notification')
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser')
app.use(cookieParser("hash"));
app.use(session({secret:"hash", cookie: { maxAge: 60000 }, resave: true, saveUninitialized: true }))
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended:true}));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(express.static('public'));
app.use(flash(app));
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/client'));
app.use('/admin', express.static(__dirname + '/admin'));
app.use('/', express.static(__dirname + '/client', { redirect: false }));
app.post('/subscribe', function (req, res) {
if(req.body.name == '<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="422323362a2b30232502252f232b2b2e6c212d2f">[email protected]</a>')
{
req.flash('info', 'Thank you', 'home');
}
else
{
res.send(500);
}
});
app.listen(3000, function(){
console.log('server is running on port 3000..');
});
And here's a snippet from my html file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<!-- footer -->
<div>
<form action="/subscribe" method="POST">
<input name="name" id="name" type="text" placeholder="Enter your email address" /><input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" class="newsletter-submit" />
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The issue I'm facing is that it shows an error stating "No default engine was specified and no extension was provided." I have tried using {{info}} to display the message in the HTML page but it's not working as expected.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this or alternative ways to show the message in the HTML page, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!
