NodeJS http homepage 20: request url with link menu

DRY is Don't Repeat Yourself, which will be used in link menu.

We will create custom module and export it.

create a file: public/partials/menu.js and write code such as:

var link = ` <ul> <li><a href="/" >Home</a></li> <li><a href="/about" >About</a></li> </ul> `; module.exports = link
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In index.js, add require menu file

const menu = require('../public/partials/menu');
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

for each

res.write( `<ul> <li><a href="/" >Home</a></li> <li><a href="/about" >About</a></li> </ul>` );
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

replace with

res.write( menu );
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Thank for reading :)
