2 years ago If you are trying to generate a string you can use any template library or I recommend Vanilla JS no library needed, using external file you would do:
// view.js file
module.exports=data=>`
<html>
<body>
${data.text}
</body>
</html>
`
// server
const view=require('./view.js')
const htmlString=view(data)Tell your text editor to use HTML syntax for view.js file so it will highlight as HTML

2 years ago if you try to respond with the contents of a html or any other file this is how i did it:
const mime = require('mime');
const fileName = 'path/to/file.html';
try {
const readStream = toArrayBuffer(fs.readFileSync(fileName));
res.cork(() => {
res.writeHeader('Content-Type', mime.getType(fileName););
res.end(readStream);
});
} catch (err) {
res.cork(() => {
res.writeStatus('404').end('Not here');
});and this is the function
toArrayBuffer(buffer) {
return buffer.buffer.slice(buffer.byteOffset, buffer.byteOffset + buffer.byteLength);
}You can also consider adding some security Headers, safe resolve the file path, noCache or Cache and also Content-Encoding gzip, deflate or no encoding

2 years ago you can take a ready-made server and not suffer
@sanchezzzhak Are you suffering? This is easy stuff, don't confuse him by pasting bunch of unnecessary code, and different library no one should be using
@Wyzix33 You are both assuming static files, he asked for HTML View, usually that means a Template that gets updated with different data on every render, but who knows what he is talking about

2 years ago @Stunext Are you asking how to open a basic HTML file? You should probably read https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html
How to return a simple html view?
