How to use Node.js to build pages that are a mix between static and dynamic content?
- by edt
All pages on my 5 page site should be output using a Node.js server.
Most of the page content is static. At the bottom of each page, there is a bit of dynamic content.
My node.js code currently looks like:
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (request, response) {
console.log('request starting...');
response.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' });
var html = '<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>My Title</title></head><body>';
html += 'Some more static content';
html += 'Some more static content';
html += 'Some more static content';
html += 'Some dynamic content';
html += '</body></html>';
response.end(html, 'utf-8');
}).listen(38316);
I'm sure there are numerous things wrong about this example. Please enlighten me!
For example:
How can I add static content to the
page without storing it in a string as a variable value with += numerous times?
What is the best practices way to build a small site in Node.js where all pages are a mix between static and dynamic content?
