This is my app.js file:
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
app.use(express.urlencoded({extended: true}));
app.use("view engine", "ejs");
app.get("/",function(req,res) {
var today = new Date();
var currentDay = today.getDay();
var day = "";
if (currentDay === 6 || currentDay === 0) {
day = "weekend";
} else{
day = "weekday";
}
res.render("list", { kindOfDay: day });
});
app.listen(3000, function() {
console.log("Listening on port 3000");
});
This is my list.ejs file
