Rebuilding a previous project and trying to learn node and CRUD functions with mongodb. i have a connection to my database and a separate server.js file with mongoose and express.
in server.js the server runs correctly im just not sure how to view my data on the page
here is my code:
server.js
const express = require('express');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const app = express();
const ejs = require('ejs');
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
mongoose.connect("mongodb connection string here");
const recipeSchema = {
title: String,
ingredients: Array,
instructions: String,
picture_link: String
}
const Recipe = mongoose.model('Recipe', recipeSchema);
app.use(express.static('public'));
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.render('index', {});
});
app.get('viewrecipes', function(req, res){
Recipe.find({}, function(err, recipes) {
res.render('viewrecipes', {
recipesList: recipes
})
})
});
app.listen(4000, function() {
console.log('server is running');
});
viewrecipes.ejs file
