it looks like the error is here app.set("view_engine", "ejs"); app.set("views", "./views"); but i don't get what is wrong.
for instance this is index.js
const express = require("express");
const db = require("./routes/db-config");
const app = express();
const cookie = require("cookie-parser");
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;
app.use("./js", express.static(__dirname "./public/js"));
app.use("./css", express.static(__dirname "./public/css"));
app.set("view_engine", "ejs");
app.set("views", "./views");
app.use(cookie());
app.use(express.json());
db.connect((err)=> {
if(err) throw err;
});
app.use("/", require("./routes/pages"));
app.use("/api", require("./controllers/auth"));
app.listen(PORT);
pages.js
const express = require("express");
const router = express.Router();
router.get("/", (req, res) => {res.render("index");});
router.get("/register", (req, res) => {res.sendFile("register.html", {root: "./public"})});
router.get("/login", (req, res) => {res.sendFile("login.html", {root: "./public/"})});
module.exports = router;
db_config.js
const sql = require("mysql");
const db = sql.createConnection({
host: 'localhost',
user: 'root',
password: 'Moto01)!',
database: 'master'
});
module.exports = db;
auth.js
const express = require("express");
const register = require("./register");
const login = require("./login");
const logout =require("./logout");
const router = express.Router();
//router.post("/register", register);
//router.post("/login", login);
//router.post("/logout", logout);
module.exports = router;

I tried looking in to other cases of this error but none of them worked for me. What is the problem here?
CodePudding user response：
You have a bug in index.js file, line number eight:
app.set("view_engine", "ejs");
^
It's should looks like that :
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
