I am trying to insert an image through the backend using a URL pulled from a database and attempting to dynamically display them based on an expense that a user wants to see when they click the how more button. I am new to remplates so i'm struggling to understand the syntax and process of using this
Show More Button displayed in the template of HTML page
showMoreBtn.innerText = 'Show More'
showMoreBtn.addEventListener('click', () => {
// const img = document.createElement('img')
// img.src = `uploads/${exp.expFile}`
// img.src = 'uploads/user2-165015.jpeg'
console.log('exp File Path', exp.expFile)
})
Template code used in the HTML file
</template>
<template id="expList">
<section >
<h1 id="expID"></h1>
<h2 id="expLabel"></h2>
<p><button ></button></p>
<!-- <img id="expImage" src="uploads/user2-1650152674035.jpeg" width="400" height="300"> -->
</section>
</template>
The question would be how would i dynamically insert these images from paths taken from a database as its tricky with templates. any help is appreciated. Thanks

First you need to get your section
element:
const section = document.querySelector(".expSection");
And then to add it to your page you need to:
section.appendChild(img);
