# My EJS App
This is a simple Express app I built to demonstrate how to use EJS (Embedded JavaScript) templates, as well as handle URL and query parameters. It’s a great starting point for learning how to build dynamic web pages!
This website is a simple Express application that demonstrates how to use EJS (Embedded JavaScript) templates to render dynamic HTML content. It allows users to interact with various routes, including a homepage, user-specific pages with dynamic parameters, and a contact page. The app also showcases how URL parameters and query parameters can be handled to display personalized content. It’s a great starting point for understanding how to build and manage dynamic web pages with Express and EJS.
Once you log in with your information, the website greets you with a personalized welcome page. This page dynamically displays a welcome message, using your details such as your username, to make the experience more personal. It’s a great way to interact with the app and see how user-specific data can be displayed after authentication.
## Features
- I use EJS templates to render dynamic HTML content.
- The app handles URL parameters to capture specific data like user IDs.
- It also displays query parameters from the URL to make the app more flexible.
- The app includes basic routes, such as a homepage, contact page, user dashboard, and admin section.
## Installation
To run this app, you’ll need to have Node.js and npm installed. If you don’t have them yet, you can get them here.
Once you’ve got that set up, here’s how to get started:
### 1. Clone the repository or download the project files.
### 2. Install the necessary dependencies by running this command in your project directory:
```
npm install
```
### 3. Start the server:
node app.js
### 4. Open your browser and go to:
```
http://localhost:3000
```
The server will run on port 3000 by default, so you should see the homepage!
## View Templates
Make sure you have placed the .ejs files inside the /views directory, as that’s where Express will look for them to render the pages properly.
### Dependencies
Here are the dependencies I used in this project:
- express: This is the web framework I used to build the app.
- ejs: The template engine for rendering dynamic views.
