Views"name is not defined" in express app (registration form page)
I am trying to make a simple registration form using express but in post request while I am trying to console.log the "name" is showing an error i.e name is not defined but in form input, I mentioned the name="name". please help me to solve this as I am new to this. Thank You.
in app.js file:
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var port = 5000;
var app = express();
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, "views"));
app.set('view engine', 'hbs');
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/public')))
app.get('/', (req,res)=>{
res.render('index');
})
app.get('/register', (req,res)=>{
res.render('register');
})
app.post('/register',(req,res)=>{
const name = req.body.name;
console.log(name);
res.render('index');
})
app.listen(port, ()=>{
console.log(`Server is running at port ${port}`);
})
in register.hbs :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
