remove .html from url express js
To remove the ".html" extension from a URL in Express.js, you can follow these steps:
Install the "path" module by running the command:
npm install path
Import the "path" module into your Express.js file using the following code:
javascript const path = require('path');
Create a route handler for the URL that you want to remove the ".html" extension from. For example:
javascript app.get('/example', (req, res) => { // Your route logic here });
Within the route handler, use the
path.parse()
method to get the filename and extension from the URL. For example:javascript app.get('/example', (req, res) => { const { name, ext } = path.parse(req.url); // Your route logic here });
Check if the extension is ".html" using an if statement. If it is, remove the extension by concatenating the filename and a blank string. For example: ```javascript app.get('/example', (req, res) => { const { name, ext } = path.parse(req.url);
if (ext === '.html') { const filenameWithoutExtension = name + ''; // Your route logic here } }); ```
Continue with your route logic using the
filenameWithoutExtension
variable. For example, you can render a template or send a response with the modified URL: ```javascript app.get('/example', (req, res) => { const { name, ext } = path.parse(req.url);if (ext === '.html') { const filenameWithoutExtension = name + ''; // Your route logic here res.render(filenameWithoutExtension); } }); ```
By following these steps, you should be able to remove the ".html" extension from a URL in Express.js.
