I was excpeting the partial to show up as the header and the partial code is this `
<header>
<a href="/">Home</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="/upload">upload</a></li>
<li><a href="/library">Library</a></li>
</ul>
</header>
`
along with this I call the partial from my template and I call it here.
`
<body>
{{> header}}
{{{body}}}
</body>
` My template works just fine and switching pages works fine to I just cant get the partial to work.
I have tried changing the file name, tried all diffrent file paths, printed the file path. (it was the right file path) I have also tried all the solutions I could find on here and took a look at the docs. I have double checked my code and file path with a 3 tutorials on youtube all of them are the same as what I have. None of these changed the output any help is greatly appreciated.
for anyone who ever comes across this problem for me it was forgetting the extname: "hbs"
"hbs",
hbs.engine({
defaultLayout: __dirname + "/views/layouts/index.hbs",
layoutsDir: path.join(__dirname, "../views/layouts"),
partialsDir: path.join(__dirname, "/views/partials"),
extname: "hbs"
})
);
