Learning Node.js Development

Installing the hbs module

The first thing we'll do is install the hbs module. This is a handlebars view engine for Express. Now there are a ton of other view engines for Express, for example EJS or Pug. We'll go with handlebars because its syntax is great. It's a great way to get started.

Now we'll see a few things inside of the browser. First up we will visit handlebarsjs.com. This is the documentation for handlebars. It shows you exactly how to use all of its features, so if we want to use anything, we can always go here to learn how to use it.

Now we'll install a module that's a wrapper around handlebars. It will let us use it as an Express view engine. To view this, we'll go to npmjs.com/package/hbs.
