I'm starting project ts, node, express. Is there a way to add typescript files to html/ejs that run on client side (so i have access to document e.t.c., just like in regular js script)?
So it would be something like:
I would appreciate pointing on what I misunderstood in whole node, express conception if I did.
Please refer to this link for detailed explaination: Serving html from express
You can basically serve html pages from express. On root request handler you can server index.html
app.get('/', (req, res)=>{res.render('index.html');}
Now in the index.html page have a link to /index route example:
<a href="/login">
Now, on server code have a route handler
app.get('/login', (req, res)=>{res.render('login.html');}
login.html can now have a form with action
<form action="/signin" method="post">
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username" required>
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" required>
<input type="submit" value="login">
</form>
Now, on server code have a route handler
app.post('signin', (req, res)=>{//handle logic here});
