Struggling with basic Express routing here. I want the server to render 'layout2.hbs' when accessing '/1', but all I'm getting is a 304 in the console.
Here's the error message:
GET / 304 30.902 ms - -
GET /style.css 304 3.370 ms - -
GET /print2.css 304 0.553 ms - -
GET /1 304 9.213 ms - -
This is how my index.js file looks like:
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var db = require('monk')('localhost:27017/');
var userData = db.get('user-data');
var app = require('express')();
router.get('/', function(req,res,next){
res.render('layout');
});
router.get('/1', function(req,res,next){
res.render('layout2');
});
router.use(express.static("public"));
module.exports = router;
The handles in my app.js setup look good:
var express = require('express');
var app = require('express')();
var path = require('path');
var port = require('port');
var favicon = require('serve-favicon');
var logger = require('morgan');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var hbs = require('express-handlebars');
const queryString = require('query-string');
var routes = require('./routes/index');
var app = express();
// view engine setup
app.engine('hbs', hbs({extname: 'hbs', defaultLayout: 'layout', layoutsDir: __dirname + '/views'}));
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'hbs');
// uncomment after placing your favicon in /public
//app.use(favicon(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'favicon.ico')));
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.use('/', routes);
// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
var err = new Error('Not Found');
err.status = 404;
next(err);
});
// error handlers
// development error handler
// will print stacktrace
if (app.get('env') === 'development') {
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
res.status(err.status || 500);
res.render('error', {
message: err.message,
error: err
});
});
}
// production error handler
// no stacktraces leaked to user
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
res.status(err.status || 500);
res.render('error', {
message: err.message,
error: {}
});
});
module.exports = app;
My file structure is as follows:
Bloodborne Backend (project folder)
│
|
|
public------print2.css
| style.css
|
|
|
routes-------index.js
|
|
|
views-------layout.hbs
| layout2.hbs
|
|
app.js
package.json
I hope you can understand my directory structure. When I try accessing '/1' on localhost, it should load 'layout2.hbs'. Instead, I keep getting a 304 response code and I'm stuck searching for a solution!
