           li()
               a(href="/signup") Sign up 
           li()
               a(href="/login") Login

Please help .I have tried this user name using the modal name that I have Create for  user . Then login and signup option are shown and logout does not show. And at the client side it does not give me error .

CodePudding user response：

Some questions... Have you configured your view engine in your Express application? Have you since your route, used the res.render() method?

If not, then here's how you should go about it:

In your Express app:

app.set("view engine", "pug");

In your route:

app.get("/route", (req, res, next) => {
    const user = req.user;

    return res.status(200).render("myView", {
        User: user,
    });
});

In your pug file:

if !User 
    li()
           a(href="/signup") Sign up 
    li()
           a(href="/login") Login 
    else 
       li()
         a(href="/logout") LogOut (#{User.username})

Here is a link that pretty much explains all of this, from the Express documentation:

Good luck ! :)
