In Express.js, adding/displaying information is only done by templates?

Question

Express.js

I can't find information about adding/displaying information to existing html code, everyone uses templating engines: pug, hbs, ejs

Answer 1

A little unclear what do you want? Templates are used in order to have interactivity in them, with variables and so on.
If you just want to give html as static, you can use static , an example from the documentation (let's say you threw files into the public folder): And after that you can open html at the direct address (site.com/public/test.html). Or use sendFile , they can send any files: pdf, picture, etc., including html. Let's imagine that you have a static folder and there is an html file.
app.use(express.static('public'));

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var path = require('path');
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/static'));

// viewed at http://localhost:8080
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname + '/static/test.html'));
});
app.listen(8080);
