Mounting Middleware

Given an application instance is set to the app variable, which of the following function calls would you use to mount a middleware called logger ?

Answer:

app.use(logger);

Default Middleware

What is the only middleware that's shipped with Express 4?

Answer: express-static

Express Static

Change the code in app.js to use the express-static middleware instead of the response.sendFile() function.

var express = require('express');
var app = express(); app.get('/', function (request, response) {
response.sendFile(__dirname + '/public/index.html');
}); app.get('/cities', function(req, res){
var cities = ['Lotopia', 'Caspiana', 'Indigo'];
res.send(cities);
}); app.listen(3001);

Remove our app.get() containing the root '/' route.

Mount the static middleware and serve files under the public directory.

Answer:

var express = require('express');
var app = express(); /*app.get('/', function (request, response) {
response.sendFile(__dirname + '/public/index.html');
});*/ //cd public
app.use(express.static('public')); app.get('/cities', function(req, res){
var cities = ['Lotopia', 'Caspiana', 'Indigo'];
res.send(cities);
}); app.listen(3001);

Script Tags

Now we can add some client side javascript by including thejquery.js and client.js files.

Within index.html, include jquery.js using a <script> tag.

Within index.html, include client.js using a <script> tag.

Now in the client.js file, complete the code for the $.get function so that it calls the /cities URL path, and then runs the appendToList function.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Cities</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Cities</h1> <ul class='city-list'></ul>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="client.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Now in the client.js file, complete the code for the $.get function so that it calls the /cities URL path, and then runs the appendToList function.

$(function(){

  $.get('/cities', appendToList ); 

  function appendToList(cities) {
var list = [];
for(var i in cities){
list.push($('<li>', { text: cities[i] }));
}
$('.city-list').append(list);
}
});
